I had used node.js for about two years, and it's not without its share of pain. Trying to find some way out of callback hell, and then finally adopting a rack-like way of writing the controllers, it's somewhat manageable. It takes quite a bit of getting use to, think and write in promises, futures, or whatever other shenanigans we come up with to deal with callbacks. I suspect it's a weakness of the language design, bent to the will of the reactor pattern. I can't imagine what sort of enterprise cruft will layer on when people are doing that with callbacks, etc.
