I used to shake my fists at Maven but once you don't have it anymore you suddenly realize what you're missing.

I feel almost exactly the way you do about node coming from Java EE-land. I haven't gone into the end-to-end aspects but integration testing looks cumbersome like you mentioned. Node seems so new and there are way more equally valid ways to do things. Grunt vs Gulp anyone?

That said, I do like how it seems like a platform that's built for the era of modern web applications. I eventually want to check out how microservices are done in Node.
