It could just as easily be said that you are guilty of assuming all Node developers want a million tiny modules and all of the decision making overhead that goes with it.

Express is a nice small framework and is good for some things. Sometimes though you really want a monolith. If you are a Node developer there isn’t a clear choice for this.

I actually enjoy Sails, but I can see some decisions they’ve made that probably aren’t attractive to new developers (such as still using Grunt by default).

Waterline is nice as an ORM on the surface, but you run into walls as your queries become significantly complex.
