I used sails for multiple small to mid-size projects. IMO, there's nothing seriously wrong with sails. It's easily extendable and if you don't like anything (Waterline has no transaction etc), just replace it. For beginners, you can still use sails to build apps and also take the project structure of sails as a good starting point for building node.js applications. The only minor gripe I had with sails is that the "neglected" vibe it gives on github. Otherwise, I will continue to use sails and also check out trailsjs on the side.
