People love NodeJS is because it's JavaScript and Async. If you don't like both you are not in the NodeJS boat. But don't blame it. Everyone has their choices. And NodeJS is not a general purpose stack and It never says it is like that. When you need to do some nasty app with lot of IO and you don't need to learn erlang than NodeJs is for you. Haters are always there! Who cares?
