I will only use node.js if I am ever forced to do so.

There isn't a single node.js feature that it is not available in

mature runtimes/OS.

It is only a mean for cool kids that are only able to use 
JavaScript, to
try to code server side applications.

I'll give it one, max two years until the fad wears off.
