While using promises fixes the syntax problem, I don't see how that it solves the fundamental issue the article describes: why would you bother writing something in Node.js if you could write it in a different, more proven, framework? What advantage does Node.js bring to the table that would make me consider it over, say, Twisted, Tornado or the newer versions of .NET? To me, and this is my personal view, choosing Node.js would mean using a less mature set of libraries and writing code in a capricious language known for it's unpleasant 'surprises'.
