Axel, while nobody has explicitly stated that streamline.js is for everyone it seems that every time someone asks a question about control flow and nesting a streamline fanatic jumps on the thread and puts it forward as the solution to everything. Maybe you guys just don't realise how bloody annoying that is and how much confusion it must lead to for new users. the biggest problem the "haters" have with the library is it works completely against the rationale for node.js. i don't know how many times it has been stated by the node.js team that node.js is all about async and callbacks and is fundamentally tied to the way javascript does things. however much you might like streamline.js it will always remain something of an experiment and a hack. while it is an impressive feat of mental gymnastics i'm afraid i couldn't call it a brilliant piece of engineering as it's going too much against the grain of the platform it is built on and is massively over complicated.
my suggestion for the node.js community would be just to ignore any future comments like this as these thread-wars only draw disproportionate attention to what will always be a niche product. would be much better to let it die a quiet lonely death in the corner. this is the last time i will be commenting on it as i'm really really tired of hearing all this FUD.
