That's kind of the point of the Node.JS bashing, once you work around all it's pitfalls you're right back where you started except your now writing your app in a language unsuited for the purpose.
Node solves the problem of needing to write evented servers in javascript. Beyond that I can't see much advantage in it vs. existing languages. If I wrote something called "Node.NET" which was a JScript wrapper around completion ports and went around telling everyone that this was the future of webdev... what do you think the reaction would be?
