I'm currently a tangential part of a project that just went from being a Java backend/middleware project with a Flash front end, to a Java backend with and HTML/JS/CSS frontend with a node-ecosystem build/package tools. Two weeks ago I complained that we have two build tools (ant and grunt) and three package managers (ivy, bower, and npm) involved... but doing a build/deploy is a 5-step manual process that results in dependency errors. This week things have improved -- the first build is a dozen manual steps, subsequent builds are only 2-3 steps, and though the deployment seems to be botched, there are no dependency errors. Not sure how I feel about enterprise node.js.
