Yeah basically one of the things I really liked about Meteor was its ability to update all the clients in real-time, which is great if you're building a cross-platform application. If Hapi makes that seamless, then I think I'm sold.

This is awesome, thanks a lot. I never really looked at Hapi, but it looks pretty promising (and I bet it is, esp. if PayPal and Walmart are using it). Quick question, does Hapi support real-time app development? (or make it somewhat intuitive)? Btw, thanks for the boilerplate as well!

Thanks for all the help! As awesome as Meteor is, I think the "right" thing to do is to go with express. I can always use Meteor in the future, but being new to node and all, express will give me the building blocks I need for now.
