It's not absurd to say "I'd like to use Node because of its performance and because it's easier to hire for, but only if it were more stable and had better documentation". As somebody who has to consider trade-offs between short-term and long-term costs for clients, these are very real problems for me.

Node's documentation really is terrible. The fact that it doesn't show what arguments functions take, what types are expected, etc. is pretty sad in 2015. The documentation is barely better than your typical side-project readme.md file, at best you get 1 example of an api's usage (always the most basic use-case only, of course).
