I'm not one of these developers, but I believe the appeal is largely the ability to work with one language in the "full stack": Node.js on the server, JS in the browser obviously, and maybe MongoDB or Postgres.

I find the other approach much better. Use a good language on both the server and the client, using one of the many language_x to javascript compilers.
