Rails, Django, and Laravel are all server-side frameworks. You could replace one with another, without having to rewrite any client code.

Meteor is all-encompassing, covering both the client and server. That means you have much less agility in terms of swapping out components, but of course its convenience is unparalleled.

Actually this has me wondering, is there anything else out there like Meteor that covers both client and server development at the same time? Maybe GWT?

There's also Derby.js and Socketstream which arose around the same time as Meteor:

Maybe Volt http://voltframework.com/ but I didn't use it and it's hardly mainstream.
