i don't think anyone thinks it's a solution to the general problem of concurrency. it's an evented framework, much like django is an MVC web framework. use of either library is pretty pedestrian. twisted made a few innovations (Deferred, @inlineCallbacks, push/pull producer API) but all in all select loops are not new technology. node is getting way too much credit if you ask me, but i think it's mostly because it's exposed a generally naive class of programmers (javascript coders) to a different paradigm. C programmers have known about select() for the last 30 years.
