The Node ecosystem is a great example of the open source community. The large number of libraries released on npm, active participation of the community and frequent events around the world related to Node proves it. Besides of course the large list of companies using it.

Not sure about your problems with node and the 'massive instability'issues you've had, or if they are related to a third party library and not the Node core.

I meant stability not in the sense of 'frequently crashing', in the sense of the API and 'how things work' remaining the same over time.

It's 0.x.x for a reason, don't you think?

The leading 0 denotes probable instability in the API that devs are willing to take the risk for and act upon.

You're familiar with SemVer, aren't you?

Node.js has never followed SemVer. That's why when io.js forked they adopted 1.0.0 and now Node.js went from 0.12.x to 4.0.0...
