Give this whole Meteor thing some more time to sink in.

Your still in the honeymoon phase. I know this because you list context switching. Anyone that moves to Node(or meteor) and lists context switching as a reason, is not long for this world... of switching to node.

I'm not going to convince you here, but just proceed with caution. It would be like me convincing my friend after he's dated a girl for a year that she's a total ass. Not going to happen.
