> Every time I had issues with Sails I had to dip into the Sails source and patch bugs out, eventually I replaced parts of Sails with libraries that actually worked. By the end of the project the only "Sails" left was the routing component...

Would love to hear more about this - if time permits, would be a great write-up.

I have a feeling it's just nonsense. There's not much to re-write to begin with. Sails.js is a thin-ish layer on top of express that uses grunt to tie everything together. Waterline is the biggest component, but it's not even technically part of Sails.js proper.
