So now you don't really need to choose. You can use Ionic on top of the Meteor platform with the new angular-meteor release and the new official support of Meteor in Ionic . Also, you can use a separate Meteor server with Meteor client side with Bower on top of a regular Ionic CLI. Here is the same app, ones with the Ionic CLI and Meteor client side with Bower: https://github.com/idanwe/meetup-NY-ionic-chat and one with the full Meteor platform: https://github.com/idanwe/meetup-NY-meteor-ionic-chat You can check those out and compare by yourself. I personally think the with the Meteor platform you get a more full support for the entire platform, you write less code and the infrastructure is more reliable, But also Ionic has many really good tools and services like Ionic Push etc...
I agree with Nathaniel 's point, but I think that it just means that for Meteor there is a larger market and revolution to take on. Meteor's mission is to replace .NET and Java on the app development area, not just supply them with a cover. I think the best overview about that is here in Geoff's talk - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8G2SMVIUNNk I hate the "popularity" questions but I think there is no doubt that Meteor is getting super popular since version 1.0 and the trend is amazing, even more then Angular when I first started using it: https://www.google.com/trends/explore#q=%2Fm%2F0t545zt&cmpt=q&tz=Etc%2FGMT%2B7 Another important point is that when seeing and talking to other companies I mostly see that their biggest problem is usually not Angular vs. React but the overall stack architecture, and that's the biggest strength of a Meteor app.
Just to make it clear - Angular 2.0 is in developer preview. Angular 1.x is very much in production and angular-meteor supports it. we are also supporting Angular 2.0 and Meteor, but in a separate package and we keep updating it as Angular 2.0 evolves.
