Tmuxinator is an awesome gem that extends tmux to allow you to set up specific sessions that can be booted up. You can customize panes, pick specific apps to run in each, and there's tons of customization that can be done: https://github.com/aziz/tmuxinator
I'd still love to see some really nice, widely-used Meteor based apps in the field. I'm excited for the potential of this framework. Asana is a wonderful example of what-could-be.
Sync is an alternative to Ember/Backbone, but not a replacement. If you're trying to replicate desktop software in the browser for instance, a heavy client-side framework is the way to go; however, for certain use cases for web applications with lots of "richness" but not trying to replicate desktop level interactivity, think Basecamp, Reddit, Facebook, Twitter, the Sync approach could definitely hold its own against these types of apps. I've greatly enjoyed building Backbone apps, and I look forward to playing with Ember, but not every web application needs to be rendered client-side against a JSON api. Sync also allows you to wire up your own javascript, so you could even use backbone models submitting over JSON and render your realtime views with Sync on the server. I'm excited to see how far we can take this approach.
thanks for the info chris, I will be following the project closely. I think I will try and implement it in one of my instagram-API driven web apps as a test.

If you like tmux, you may love tmuxinator -- lets you keep your terminal sessions saved (even things like SSH that require login), and resume them exactly as you left.
