I never said that's unique to Node.js, that's why I pointed out vert.x.
Node.js uses JavaScript which is a language that a lot of people use. Your argument is simular to saying "Just do it in Java". Java supports Non-blocking I/O (Vert.x is written in Java). I would avoid making a blanket statement that there's no reason in using Node.js because I can show you a list of companies that use it very successfully with a large number of users. They selected Node.js for various reasons. Voxer for example is a company my friend works at that uses it. Joe Walnes an ex-googler uses it at his new job for many reasons. e.g., you can write a custom protocol on top of it easily and get loads of benefits from the language, the server and more.
You still haven't backed up your claim that there's no reason to use it. I would be interested in hearing more substance to back it up and your reasoning.

One can use non-blocking IO in many languages, on many platforms. Node simply forces people to do so. Essentially forcing lazy/sloppy developers to be better developers. Non-blocking IO is in no way unique to Node however.
