Exactly right. For a web forum I'd stick to mature, free options built in Python or Ruby. Node.js stuff is great for those who want to use it, but not me, I'd use DjangoBB. Look at this thing of beauty http://support.djangobb.org/.
This post stinks of advertising to me. Or the worst form of Node.js bandwagoning if it isn't- so I hope it is viral advertising.
Not to mention this thing is a pure, pre-ejected abortion of design. https://community.nodebb.org/ I'm not sure who these web designers think they're fooling with this crap.
The "modern web" looks full of hipster goons who would have also cooked up the ribbon interface. I'll stick to my minimalism, black text on white backgrounds, usable forums, and not reinventing the blink tag.
Yeah, how dare modern users want to be able to read right to left and top to bottom, as we've been doing for thousands of years. These young hipster types, they know what's up! Disrupting organization of hierarchies is the new Snapchat! In the future, we're all going to evolve Cookie Monster eyes to be able to coordinate these masonry messes.

I think with nodeBB we can safely say, NEXT!
