node.js vs Python with Greenlets (say gevent)

I don't get why node.js is being so hyped.
Sure, the idea of writing things in JavaScript both on the client and server-side is really nice.
And JavaScript really fit an event-driven environment with its browser heritage.

But why on earth is boomerang code so appealing to write? I don't get. Am I missing something obvious?
All examples of node.js I see are littered with callbacks yet Ryan Dahl thinks coroutines suck. It doesn't add up for me.
