While I get the argument for Rails, I find I'm much more productive when working in one language (Javascript) across both the frontend / backend. As to the low level nature of Node/Express vs something like Rails or Django, I've tried SailsJS and Loopback, which are probably the closest comparisons in Node, and ending up regretting it. Every time I chose a high level API framework / ORM, I felt like I was fighting it or trying to find a workaround for the simplest things. I now choose Express or Koa for most projects.
