I think the original title of the blog post is a better description since the one submitted makes it look like a tutorial.

This is not a tutorial, but an editorial on why the author thinks Node.js has succeeded in newbie traction where as YUI and Ember have had trouble. Built modules that new users can get started with instead of documentation and examples that require more understanding to get started making something.

I agree. The description now matches the original post, thanks!
Regarding nodejs's success (mentioned this https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5358127 when 0.10.0 was released):

"I find the strength, openness, and responsiveness of the community (mailing list, freenode IRC chat) to be node's greatest asset. They've done an amazing job in building culture and that should serve node well as it matures."

This is something that even the YUI community lacks.
