Javascript performance has come a long way since the days of IE6.
Saying that node.js is more difficult to work with than Python is just a matter of perspective isn't it?
Like any technology, in the hands of individuals that know what they are doing it is really not any more difficult than anything else.
For me personally, the fragmented Python community was what scared me to Node.Js in the first place. This was year's ago now, so perhaps Python has gotten better at that, but from a getting started point of view Node.js was and still is pretty easy, at the time the only thing that compared in Python in terms of ease of use was CherryPy, but It was not stable enough at the time for me to feel comfortable staying with Python for the one library that was not production ready.
