This has been my feelings on meteor as well. It looked neat and I went through some of the tutorials and such, but really had no projects I could use it on. All my current projects interact with various sql database at some point. I realize that isn't as cool as all the nosql stuff, but I kept hoping they would get to it, and then kept getting disappointed.
It's a pretty narrow full stack to me if you don't have real support for sql databases. It's been sitting there for 3 years and has about the highest votes of all them. They had a post about experimental postgresql project in august(http://info.meteor.com/blog/an-early-look-at-sql-in-meteor), but it's mostly sat there with a few updates since then. It doesn't seem to be much of a priority.
I couldn't agree more. One of the most expensive things we have to do on Meteor projects is constantly re-mapping the way we think about our data so it works in a noSQL paradigm.
If they were serious about the framework they'd drop everything they're doing and focus on getting some proper relational support happening ASAP.
