I think the main strength is the fact that you are writing JavaScript both on the client side and the server side. You don't have to mentally switch languages or anything. Even though people don't think that it has an effect, it does. And while, even in JS, you'll write things slightly differently when doing client/server side work but it still would take less brain power than changing client/server paradigms as well as changing languages.
