I'm still observing node, but imho it's kind of it's own distro, you have many limitations, e.g. it's designed to be read only for most files (making it more secure) which creates more trouble to "persist" changes. I honestly don't think there is enough dev power (in terms of manpower) for node, too. As I said, it's like a fork of el6/fedora, but with just about 5-10 devs. I'm running very well with el6 hosts atm, I would discourage the use of fedora nodes as well, because there where multiple reports of broken hosts after package upgrades in fedora (imho that's a no brainer, as fedora is bleeding edge and thus more breakage does occur).
