The notion that this move would buy them any credibility with developers is completely laughable.

Why should I trust a company with my hosting who, last time I used them, waited less than a day after expiration to sell my almost completely unknown, personal domain to a squatter?

I used nodejitsu (paid account) for 24 hours. They screwed up their DNS and was sending my client's domain to a random person's node app (and vice versa).

That's when I stopped trusting other people to handle my critical infrastructure.

never felt the need to use Nodejitsu, definitely won't now.
