What's your take on Node and backwards compatibility? Since you get to choose your runtime, is it valuable to stick with the same always-add, never remove approach as the browser? NPM taken out of the picture, I get writing one language everywhere would be nice. Do you just consider the bad parts to be the price to pay for not needing to keep track of the distinctions?
I've recently been working in Electron, and I find having app logic in both browser JS and Node to be more of a frustrating uncanny valley than a help. I suspect I'm in the minority on this one though, at least amount people with workaday skill set in client side JS.
