Here's my take on this: I wouldn't think of it in terms of a "threat". I'd think of it as spreading the async word further into the JVM world. That's a good thing for everyone.
Vert.x is broader than node, but Node is clearly a source of inspiration for Vert.x. It wouldn't exist if I didn't like node. I don't think droves of node users will come over to Vert.x overnight. It's more likely that we'll get most of our users from current JVM users. But if a few node users find Vert.x suits their needs better than node, that's not a bad thing either. In terms of competition I see Vert.x competing more with the likes of Play/Akka.
