Node.js is pretty freakin' awesome, yes. But it's also been hyped up more than an Apple gadget. As pointed out by Eric Florenzano on his blog a LOT of the original excitement of server-side JS was due to the ability to share code between client and server. However, instead, the first thing everybody did is start porting all the existing tools and frameworks to node. Faster and better, perhaps, but it's still largely the same 'ol thing. Where's the paradigm shift? Where's the code reuse?!
