I only "got" node.js when I realized the little command-line utility I was writing with js on rhino was too slow to be usable because of all the synchronous I/O. Making file read/writes async made it run so much faster that the project suddenly became interesting again. Yes I could have done the same thing in twisted python (which I don't know), or POE (which I do know a little), but I write js all day already so its a natural choice at that point.
