I like the one language thing. I think it's overrated a bit (most syntax mistakes I make are caught by linters) but it's nice. However, it's still js. Lots of warts still. Also - for a normal web app I really don't see how async is a plus. I don't like promises or async that much, especially with so much db access - why would i want everything to go to an event loop?

It's a never ending discussion, I think all of these stacks are "good enough" to get the job done, a lot of it is how your brain ticks and what you're experienced with...
