While I think Meteor and Derby are moving more in the right direction than Express, I think if any of these frameworks want to be the Rails of JS, they need to play on the strengths of Node much more. Node really shines when it has to serve a ton of small data, rather than render CPU-intensive templates on the server-side. Express treats Node as if it were Ruby or Python too much. I feel like Meteor is completely missing the point when they do things like use fibers. To be the go-to Node framework, it's going to have to move much more client-side, but still make it easier to build an app than something like Restify.
