No, that's not enough for vitriol; there has to be an emotional drive. If this code was written for you, and you were offended by the over-engineering, then you might feel slighted for being ripped off. But that's not the case here.
The reason these people were sneering was because the code was written in Javascript, running on Node.js, and Node.js is perceived to be a threat to their own community, Ruby on Rails. They mock and belittle what they fear so they can feel better.

The crazyness of it all is that comparing Node to RoR is like comparing C++ to Cocoa it is just nuts and I do not get why people get up all in arms about it. I like and use both.
