I've toyed with Derby and Meteor quite a bit over the last few weeks. Derby JS is by far my favorite. The biggest hurdle for both of these frameworks as a node novice has been lack of documentation but both of these frameworks are nothing short of revolutionary! Meteor has several full time programmers and a larger following, but at the end of the day Derby just makes more sense to me.
