So you hold unfair prejudices against Node?

What prejudices do I have against Node that are unfair?

I don't know, you said you were biased against it. That's what biased means. Maybe your education has failed you?

Being bias doesn't necessitate being unfair, we all have biases. It just means, all things being equal I'm not pro Node.

Citing your sources would be a great way of asserting your credibility. "Every blog post I have read that says the opposite" doesn't count.

I'd love to read some well-thought-out arguments against node from people who've seriously given node a shot, but I haven't seen any. Granted, I haven't been looking for them, so please prove us wrong.

I don't log the numerous NodeJS blogs I have come across over the year, my opinions on if the authors of Node blogs are qualified isn't really relevant to my point though: NodeJS is a step backwards.

I wrote a comment on reddit that expands on my reasons more, although the second point is less of a problem if people use something like TameJS with Node (which I don't think most people are doing).
