Completely agree. I tried to learn rails and gave up partly for this reason. I have been using node for a while now and LOVE it! I really dont understand why people bash node.
In my experience, few people spend much time dissecting technical reasons why node sucks, and most of those people who do don't understand it.
Loads of people laugh at the people who reply to virtually every post with "I use node and LOVE it!", but that's to be expected with any case of over-ebullient advocacy.
