1. websocket doesn't work in the real world for all of us. I am not against web sockets in generall. Its just because chats like apps doesn't them really, instead they need reliable connections, because loosing messages is no-go. 2. Socket.io codebase is huge and difficult to fix, would not be that relevant if not lots of problems. 3. Communication with storages is not reliable in clustered environment. It also scales bad because of the way socket.io communicates between servers in case of reconnects. This is especially a problem if using long-polling.
