I sort of feel the same way. If it's meant to work within the node ecosystem, go for it, but if not, just ship an executable. Of course, the reason this is happening is that there's a bunch of people now writing command line tools in JavaScript because that's what they use and know. Just like in the past (and now) there were a bunch of people doing it in Perl, Ruby, etc. It's definitely not very UNIX-y in its ethos, but I can understand why it happens.
