It's generally high maintenance, npm dependencies, deprecations, leftpad, javascript new shiny culture etc
You can make it work with more maintenance, but you did ask the question what's wrong with it!
- chrisco255 6y agoIt's really not high maintenance at all. Leftpad issue was fixed in less than hours the same day it happened and since then the NPM tooling for package management has improved a great deal. JS shiny new culture doesn't really exist on the back end (and even front end js has calmed down in recent years). Express.js, the go-to framework 7 years ago, is still the go-to framework on Node today. Node and Mongo are at this point "boring tech". Their limitations and trade-offs are well known, their benefits are also well-established, and their APIs and tooling have matured.
