    I will give my to cents.
    I think javascript is fucking horrible. Sorry for the bad words but that language make wanna pull my head off.
    But, my opinion is. It is better to learn javascript than a framework of it. Except if it node.js. Node.js is an exception because it has some low level concepts that are important to learn if dont know them by this point.
    Sorry for drifting a little bit but if you know javascript well you know one more scripting language to run on the browser to exploit some security fails and you will understand better what is happening behind a function of any js framework.

    @claudiofilipe21 javascript is actually an amazing language - all the things it does by design, in a pseudo-OOP way? freaking amazing.

    JS developers are awful - typically (not always, but typically) have very little formal OOP or CS knowledge...

    very similar to the PHP world (im in both, i see trends in both)

    Closures, prototype chains, and garbage collection done right!.....all in the same language....

    @mattwebdev I just dont like it for a simple reason. The error handling is the worst. I know that it isnt well used. Everyone should read the book "Javascript the good parts" with good pratices.
    Php I think is diferente. With laravel and php 7 the code can be very clean.

    @claudiofilipe21 error handling in JS is fine, if you do it right ........try something, catch the error.....you can log it and stack trace it...what more could you want?

    that being said, it goes back to my point - the developer is responsible for understanding good error handling principles.

    @dshorten - to answer your question... you have to know what meteor gives you over an Angular or React stack.

    the answer is... yes you should learn Meteor...if you have a valid reason to. dont waste time on something you will never use if Angular or React do it better for your projects.

    @mattwebdev thanks very much for your opinion I'm just starting to learn js frameworks as I feel I have a decent knowledge of JavaScript and I see so many frameworks out there I just don't really know which one to choose I have a basic understanding of a MEAN stack and I guess I will keep improving my skills knowledge there before being able to compare and contrast different frameworks but thanks again

    @dshorten If you have a little extra ambition, Aurelia is a potential up and coming framework that is fun to work in.

    I just started using sails for a node js project. I like how it's going so far, but my first love is C#.
