Node is pretty interesting and seems to have pretty good performance, but I wouldn't build anything critical on it until at least version 0.2. As far as I know, there are semi-frequent breaking changes. Ryan Dahl has said that API stability should come with version 0.2.

"I wouldn't build anything critical on it until at least version 0.2" Ha! It's a brave new world. It used to be you needed a whole version number under your belt before critical stuff could be built..

  Maybe they're taking the emacs approach to version numbers.

  Been talking to people working with node.js and the general vibe is 'it rocks'. Although, there is a lot of breakage it's for the best.

Agreed, node development is going at a breakneck pace, but you should count on your code not working 6 months down the line without at least as few tweaks. BTW, the new Buffer objects are awesome, and provide massive speed increases with binary data.
