since the latest version of appjs there is a shared context between
node/webkit so you can use node calls inside the "client side" code.

I don't know it this was mentioned before, but could you summarize how
this project differs in goals and maturity to other similar projects
like appjs?
I'm not trying to discourage you, this work is fantastic! I just know
that it's not obvious to everyone what the differences are.
You're right, a compare table is necessary, I'll add one in the Wiki page.
In summary, node-webkit is different to appjs in following ways:
1. appjs is a module for node but node-webkit is a standalone runtime.
2. it's hard to distribute app written with appjs, but node-webkit has
a working out of box package system.
3. the webview created by appjs is just a normal webview, it's very
hard to use along with nodejs. But webview created by node-webkit has
integrated nodejs into it, that means you can directly use 'require',
'process' and others in the <script> tag of a html page.
4. write apps with node-webkit is as simple as write a web page, and
even simpler because you can use all nodejs stuff including its third
party modules.
And see our file explorer demo on:
https://github.com/zcbenz/nw-file-explorer
then you'll know how powerful node-webkit is.
