Reasons to choose Node.js

I've been tasked to write a list of pros/cons of Deno in comparison to Node.js. I am quite honestly having a hard time formulating that many "pros" of Node.js. Could someone please let me know: what good reasons are there to choose Node.js today?

I can think of three things in no particular order: 1. esbuild treats it as first-class, if that makes sense. 2. Playwright does not support Deno 3. it is the default choice for many devs

the larger ecossystem and the large quantity of tutorials around it are 2 good reasons while the NPM support in Deno is great, it's not yet 100% Node.JS allows you to pretty much copy and paste code without thinking too hard

Majority of popular frameworks are Node-first / Node-only (eg. Nuxt, Next, etc). Dev experience. You'd normally find it easier to write large apps in Node due to the big ecosystem and dev tools.
