  Reasoning

  This Package has been installed almost 12.000 times. It is the only package that allows using gridFS for file storage (pictures and movies) in an easy and secure way after the demise of the complex fs:collection. The alternative https://github.com/VeliovGroup/Meteor-Files is not as an elegant solution for grids as this one is.

It is so popular that It has already been forked many times to replace the older coffescript dependency, like done here https://github.com/brucejo75/meteor-file-collection and here with an non-coffee version https://github.com/swiftcourt/meteor-file-collection.

The other problem is its incompatibility with SSL mongo servers, which is an impediment for using Mongo Atlas, for instance, as detailed here https://forums.meteor.com/t/issues-migrating-from-mlab-to-atlas/54206 that were supposedly solved here https://github.com/sakeena12/meteor-file-collection.
