Is Meteor Dying? State of the Meteor Ecosystem

@benjamn what are the alternatives to require.ensure and module.hot in a fully ES2015 world of import and export that will allow the same features for which we love webpack for our build system.

If ES2015 or other tech is not providing an alternative, then we still need webpack and commonjs require.ensure and module.hot to do its thing.

When the ES2015 world of import and export provide such capability then an alternative to webpack exists and its 3rd party loaders will need migration too.

Until that design problem has a solution, then I’ll still appreciate that we can use commonjs and webpack (also for its other speed and advanced configuration features) with meteor with webpack:webpack (@eXon is working on 1.3 integration in the next branch).

So eventually we’ll need migration from the meteor+webpack or non-meteor+webpack solution to that shiny ES2015 solution when available with or without meteor.

btw, thanks for the great job, it seems to be heading in a better direction.

merry christmas.
