I recently evaluated the state of the art in node.js frameworks for a project and came to some similar conclusions. (fab) is incredibly cool, but lacks some maturity and the code is very dense and hard to reverse engineer. geddy looks like a very solid framework, but I prefer having something a little more configurable and pluggable ... these types of things are coming, but geddy is a little too opinionated for my taste. connect and express are what I am going with - in terms of heritage these are much more akin to sinatr/padrino, where geddy is a bit more railish. express/connect has a solid development team, burgeoning communitt and an agile and flexible underlying philosophy. In a world where the dust is yet to settle on a default stack, I think having fewer opinions is actually a win ... as time progresses and there is a clear choice in node-land this will be less of an issue. but for now, loose coupling and high cohesion are the order of the day.
