Hi Dan Thanks for posting that, great comparison. I agree angular-app looks great. Express/Rails is a big decision, bit like choosing a religion ;) Express is great because it lets you focus on Javascript on both client and server, the NPM ecosystem has great depth and high quality and it all just works. The thing that Ruby/Rails does great IMHO is active record and the way it handles the database. I haven't seen a comparable equivalent in Node/NPM yet. Rails also has a great community and is very popular in the startup scene (although node is growing here too). I personally find that Node/Express wins because it just works, it is lighter and I can more easily focus on just the problem I am solving.
