Japanese is a terrible language. I tried speaking it for a while, but I can just get my ideas across so much more easily in English. It's just easier. This must be because Japanese is terrible.
That seems to be the basic reasoning at work here.
And btw, I actually love the Japanese language, I find it more poetic and actually more expressive too, because you can nest expressions more easily than in English or even Arabic (my native language).
Then I don't know what was, because your point certainly seemed to be that you used Node and had a harder time reading and writing code with it than an environment that was more familiar to you, and therefore Node is terrible.
That seems to be the basic reasoning at work here.
