So what do you use to build simple websites on the backend? There are bad programmers and bad programming practices for every language. If you see code that has 5 levels of nested callback chains, it's only because people don't know how to write code. Have you see chromium code? It's filled with callback in c++. All this is nothing new.

Interesting, so what do you use to avoid nested callback chains? Use a workaround library? This just seems like brute force. I don't think you are required to use asynchronous callbacks in C++ to do anything, while in Node.js you are almost guaranteed to doing this. Why would you write a CRUD app using Node.js when you can accomplish this in multitude of other well established methods? LAMP, Java, Python etc. Nothing wrong with experimenting but for real world needs, there's no clear answer as to why you would need Node.js to redo what you used to do.
