I think the intension was to focus on the 80% of functionality that people use the most and consider the remaining 20$ as not-useful, which is generally ok by me. I think it's still better than the feature rich outlook. For me, the main annoyance is cc and bcc which I use quite often. Really, how often do you edit the subject?? more than once a week?

The foul language could actually do him good in the long run... "interesting things happen when Dave gives a talk". He can stand out of the P.C. crowd.

While it's true that threads are ok if implemented correctly, one needs to be smart to correctly work with threads, and still any concurrent code will be ~10x more expensive to write and maintain.

In my perspective lack of threads is a blessing because it takes this complexity out of the equation.

On the other hand, working with async callbacks also takes training and more careful thought of the bindings and closures.

For me, after 6 months with node, I can say that I like it. It's superfast, ample modules to work with, and javascript is very convenient for working with data.

As an outsider, it looks like MSFT does not grasp kernel performance as a super important feature of Windows. They add so much bells & whistles over the UI, but the inside sucks release after release
