Please don't editorialize headlines like this. The comparison to Apache and Tomcat is a small part of this article.

I disagree with your assertion.

There is too much inaccurate information in the article for it to be taken seriously. The author is bias and spreading misinformation.

My headline was meant to highlight the absurdity of the article.

It's poorly written, but it doesn't seem to be "full of misinformation"; maybe a couple of things are right only under certain circumstances (depending on what DB you use, etc) but it seems to have a reasonably clear view of what's up.

... it's just not bootlicking enough for your tastes, right? Some of us actually consider it an enormous red flag when a community flogs some technology as superior to everything in every conceivable way, and starts burning heretics who suggest that perhaps there is some use case it isn't quite so good for at the stake. Such communities often end up actually destroying their own technology, because it turns out that being able to clearly see the weaknesses of your approach is a critical engineering skill. Every approach has weaknesses.

(Especially when said tech is less blazing a new trail than cruising down the smooth, well-maintained highway filled with fast food and gas stations.)

The best thing that could happen to Node is for the cult adherents to disappear.
