Would you choose Meteor today?

I played around with Meteor in 2012, but in the end I left the framework behind because I felt that bigger projects would get pretty "bloated" over time. So I thought of Meteor as "suitable for smaller real-time based projects".

After working on Wekan for some time - would you choose Meteor again if you had to start over today? If not, which stack would you choose?

That said, if I want things to be robust and require very litte up to no maintenance, I tend to write it in the purest way possible (e. g. vanilla JS / PHP / C# / Go, whatever) and avoid external dependencies.

It's possible to use Svelte in Meteor https://github.com/meteor/meteor/blob/devel/Roadmap.md

Wekan uses up-to-date newest Meteor, Node 12.x LTS etc dependencies that are compatible.

Consider Vue.js, Svelte, React Native, and Apollo as first-class citizen

That's great!

But I would simply adapt to what you guys are mainly using/doing in Wekan, to not add extra layers of complexity to the project.

Wekan is made with Blaze, and most likely will continue to be. In near future I will probably get funding for mobile web fixes, so that Wekan would work on Safari on iOS/iPad.
