Judging from the description it does what the other 1000+ Node MVC frameworks do. What's the advantage of Sails over them? CRUD scaffolding is nothing new in Node's ecosystem.

Apparently their edge is that users can manipulate the database on their own in the default scaffold?

EDIT: Downvote without a comment is not constructive. This is a legitimate question. Care to explain?

I agree with you, seems that there are a million different frameworks but not enough community around one to make any of them really stick. If all the devs for those different projects could just put their heads together into one project...

It looks a lot like TowerJS or CompoundJS or FlatIron, but I'm still going to try it because there is still something lacking in those frameworks that I can't quite put my finger on.

Overall, though, I love CompoundJS with JugglinDB... but I tend to really love any framework I spend a lot of time with.

I'm guessing the downvotes are for the snideness of your remark. A more respectable way to phrase your question would've been to simply ask how this framework compares to some of the other well known Node frameworks and why might I look into Sails to solve a specific problem instead of some of the others that are available.

Thanks for your feedback. English is not my native language so I can sound rude unintentionally in written expression (it's hard enough already in my native language.)

I'll try throwing random smileys next time :P

Totally agree with you.
