I suspect people who dislike the idea of multithreaded programming are over-represented in the Node community. I'd even speculate that Node owes some of its popularity to being a release valve for a general thread-grumpiness that has been simmering in developer circles for years, fueled by the common belief that multithreaded programming is error-prone and difficult to reason about. So there's probably a bit of an ideological hurdle to overcome, but I also think that it's not an insurmountable problem, as the community matures and if a really useful solution presents itself.
