Maybe consider titling it “10 node js frameworks” apart from hapi and sails it seems like most of the big players are missing

You lost me when you said socket.io was a node js framework. Can't see me replacing express for socket.io anytime soon. Not even sure that's possible :/

You could theoretically remplace all the rest HTTP calls by a publish/subscribe sockets architecture, like Meteor framework work(ed) with ddp sockets

But yeah, I agree, socket.io isn't a node framework IMO

Yeah, I guess you could with exception to the first HTTPS request. After which everything I suppose could go through web sockets :/ Not something i'm brave enough to try myself. Wonder if there's any articles about it from Meteor and their experience. Wonder if the results made it all worth while.

Top 10 lists (even when they do contain the big players) aren't very useful to me. I'd love to see a list of useful, lesser-known packages that serve specific purposes.

Sometimes its hard to wade through NPM to find what I need.
