I've used it on a few mid sized personal projects and have to say I generally regret the decision. The last project I worked on in node was great at first but as I slowly started adding more features the code became rather unmaintainable; IO heavy parts became a mess of deeply nested callbacks and compared to say python the choices of third party libraries are limited and often of poor quality. At the end of the day I personally rather use a tool that does not force me to compromise on code quality.

Many of my problems with node are simply a matter of taste and I'm not trying to discourage the use of Node.js; its pretty good for quick and dirty web services but, in my personal experience it has not been worth the trouble for large projects.
