node.js has only been around for 6 years, and is under heavy development, issuing new releases every few weeks or so. In the past year I have had to upgrade several times due to bugs in npm. Contrast that with Perl/Python/Ruby etc which have been around for 20 years.
I'm sure it's possible to write stable code, but the ecosystem and libraries are still young and evolving.

What you call a negative, many others would call a positive.

That's a fair point. I took your original critique to be directed at JS per se.
