@SkinnyGeek1010 thanks a bunch, haven’t seen this repo yet.
For others who may be interested, I think this is a really thoughtful thread as well - MeteorFlux Flow
@awatson1978 I can agree with this to a point. The Big thing that I initially liked with Blaze was that it was very friendly to pure html/js syntax. In a way, it reminded me a bit of how easy it was to get started with angular, you just need to know html and input chunk of code wherever you want to run js. But once you start building anything with any decent amount of complexity, it becomes kind of difficult managing the state of the app. I had no problems picking up React very very quickly (much faster than angular). Learning different flux architectures become somewhat difficult however. At this point, I can’t actually think of any reasons why I’d not use React/Flux (given the tradeoffs) since managing state has become soo much easier. That said I also have many issues with React - jsx transpiling, test frameworks/code coverage, etc. all become more difficult especially when trying to integrate with different tools/other frameworks.
Anyway, I’m open to changing my mind 
but for the moment, I think I’ll go with React with minimal Blaze+FlowRouter. Would love to see some nice code examples comparing all the different architectures, or better yet for Meteor to have a really good example of using React+Some popular Flux architecture.
