Choosing Node.JS isn't just a performance / scaling decision for me -- one of the main draws to Node is the huge community and wealth of awesome modules. Socket.io, Now.js, cradle, redis, and dozens of other modules abstract away the tedious work and let me build functionality _really_ fast.
Go is really promising but it won't win over the majority of casual developers until there's a community around it. I might as well write a webserver in C if I'm only concerned with performance
