I like JS and I like NodeJS, but I'm more of an integrator-coder and prefer frameworks, so I miss things like Django, South, mature ORMs, etc. Though I did somewhat overcome this hurdle, I particularly hurt for a migration library when building a NodeJS project (we did find a decent one, but it was young, immature and not well documented, so it took 10x the time to get comfortable working with it and then it lacked lots of features). I also missed the availability of batteries-included API libraries such as Tasty-Pie and Django-Rest-Framework. Again, it's not hard to code up a few URLs for a model, but then ... HATEOS ... default REST stuff ... JSONP support ... etc.
I do look forward to switching to NodeJS and I am fairly early adopter... but it's still been too early for me.
