The possibilities of JavaScript today are greater than I ever expected them to be. I used to think of it as a tool for creating limited interactivity, but nowadays there's nothing you can't do with JavaScript.
Then there are tools. I like SASS, concatenating stuff, minifying, you name it. I used to do this all with Ruby frameworks. Ruby is not my cup of tea and I was only interested enough in it to make my tooling works. With Node though, it feels like I can configure and customize my tooling endlessly as it is all in a language I feel comfortable in.
Oh and let's not forget about all the frameworks! How I feel it, JavaScript used to be a bit of a wild west. Building complex turned into something real messy real quick. Or at least it did for me, because I'm not that structured. Frameworks have brought me things to hold on to when building a bit more complex things.
