This article definitely matches with my experience. I did two not all too complicated projects on the side with Node.js and the the first steps where so easy that it completely convinced me to go with it. After a while I tried to dig deeper and went to meetups to see whether I do things right as in a community accepted way and if I use the right tools and so on. Since then I refer to the Nodejs community as the most hipster programmer community I've ever seen. As soon as a framework was getting near a 1.0 version nobody wanted to use it anymore, experimental features were used in production code, it was horrifying. For me that ended this endeavour, I just could not keep up with the pace. I always wondered if it would be different if I would have worked full-time on Nodejs projects.
