Personally I think it's good for standing up a first-cut of a CRUD web application quickly, but if I wanted a maintainable product going forward I'd use a statically typed, more fully fleshed out framework (Java/Spring, C#). I don't like where JavaScript has gone on the frontend, and certainly not on the backend, so I personally would avoid universal JavaScript like the plague - it's still reinventing wheels that were solved ages ago, and bringing very little the party as far as I can tell (apart from ease of transitioning from frontend web hacker to backend).
