I've used sails.js for many (many) projects including gameref.io, hackjob.io, and on several internal projects at my current job. I find it ideal for prototyping and small-to-medium-sized projects. I really hope it doesn't die as I love the pipelined approach it takes.
@SignMeTheHELLUp is complaining about Waterline ORM, but I'd argue that Hibernate is worse (and it's an "industry standard"). It's just a fact of life that ANY ORM will suck because it tries to build an isomorphic API over several database abstractions.
Also, come on, entire world-class companies are based on a Node.js architecture (Uber comes to mind)[1]. If you can't write solid code in Node, you're probably just a shitty programmer.
