That's funny, cause I'd prefer literally anything that isn't called an enterprise framework.

Bash cgi?

The whole point of node.js and it's ecosystem is to avoid anything that looks like an 'enterprise framework', rather it's a collection of lots of little modules that each do one thing and one thing well and that can build on top of each other (turtles all the way down).

That sounds like a lot of fun to maintain and keep version control on, especially when they're written by different people with different motivations.
