It reminds me of Internet Explorer. Once it got "good enough", development slowed to a trickle until someone finally got fed up with it and started a new browser with a very rapid release cycle that continues today.
Node.js 0.10.0 was released on March 11, 2013. 0.12.0 was released almost 2 years later on Feb 6, 2015. By all accounts 0.12 isn't even a major change over 0.10.
The io.js team has done more in a few months than Joyent did in 2 years.
I, personally, don't care if node.js and io.js ever merge. One is clearly a superior product with a superior open source governance model.
