My thinking is the same. I like io.js, but I'd much prefer to see a merger (even if it's a 10/90 to io.js favour). Only the name node itself is pretty ingraine

My thinking is the same. I like io.js, but I'd much prefer to see a merger (even if it's a 10/90 to io.js favour). Only the name node itself is pretty ingrained, I think everyone would be best served by a merger. Sort of like the merb/rails merger. Both sides made the harder, more mature decision to join forces even though they both probably had to give up some personal preferences. But I'm sure none of them would regret it now.
