Bringing Node.js into PayPal removed the barriers between the layers in the software organization, Node.js and javascript all the way up from just above the services layer to the frontend layer, meaning you need fewer engineers.
In one project there was initially 25-30 java engineers were required to build a simple controller layer. Later this was simplified to a smaller team. But in parallel, the Node.js team did it with just 1-2 node engineers.

So, this is where we are today – and my reference architecture is mongodb for the database server, node/express as the web/application server, AngularJS on the client side (along with Bootstrap for styling). I find that this architecture allows me to build web services really quickly that can have a client interface build fast using AngularJS, and then one can start development of mobile apps against the service using PhoneGap or native mobile development tools.

Node is an awesome platform to very easily write very well performing servers. Node is an awesome platform to use for your daily shell scripting needs (allowing you to work in your favorite language even for these tasks). Node isn't about creating awesome websites. It's about giving you the power to easily build servers. Web, DNS, SMTP - we've seen all.
"Instead of coding in one language, we're actually coding in two. One is the subset JavaScript that can be run in all browsers, and another is the set of JavaScript that can be run by Node. Knowing the difference between the two languages and context switching between them is simply a required skill. You know what would be awesome? If we wrote our libraries so that they could run either on the server or on the client, and they did so in a transparent way. Maybe it would help to give a concrete example of how this could be awesome." Isn't YUI trying to do this? Lots to catch up on
