I agree with everything you wrote. However, users and developers of nodejs do have slightly different interests.
I think Golang is a good example of this... the developers (mostly Google) want Golang to be small, less complex, etc (at the very least, it makes their job easier if they don't have to support certain features). But the users want generics, exceptions, and assertions (among other things).
So there's this difference in point of view -- the developers have a certain vision of what Golang should be.. and the users just want to get their project (that happens to be implemented in Go) finished as quickly/efficiently as possible.
