There are a lot of problems, actually. I don't think Node.js has bad cross-platform support but calling it "great" is definitely a stretch. Node's APIs are very low-level and unix-centric and the result is it is very easy to make a library that doesn't work well on Windows because it assumes unix-style paths, for example. Or try using child_process.spawn without resorting to a 3rd party module or adding platform specific code yourself. Yeesh.
