Try building a serious app with node. Its a pain to build and maintain. In .net, you can have teams of people working on business logic DLLs, Data Access DLLs and have a few person team tie them all up in a web app. I hardly think that is possible in node. All the enterprisey things in .NET are a god send in a 10k loc web app with solid debug and profiling capabilities. And all that will save you time and money. So many developers try to compare the structures of different stacks based on "hello worlds", whereas, the actual issues crop up in actual web development.

Why do you believe the same thing can't be achieved with packages in node that you feel is so useful for multi team orgs in your DLL scenario?

Well, I have. With both .net and nodejs. They both do the job fine (you mention 10K LOC, but I’m not sure that you mean because that’s still comfortably tiny — a one-person app at most, where pretty much anything works.) In my experience they both scale just fine. Your limiting factors are much more defined by your app architecture, dev group politics (as reflected in response to management), and what I’ll call your dev workflow process (how many minutes is it, between when you as a dev make a final, correct source change, and the change makes it far enough that another person can see and evaluate it in the software?)
