Sure, but when I visit nodejs.org there is a very prominent "Download" button, and no mention at all that I might have an easier time with WebStorm (or another such fully-integrated development package). No links to introductory materials either, I might add.

Those would be fairly trivial changes to the website landing page, but they could drastically reduce the steepness of the on-ramp.

By contrast, if I visit python.org, there is a clear funnel leading me to alternative development environments, beginner tutorials, etc.



Apples to oranges. Python is a language and Node is a runtime.

Compare with https://www.javascript.com/
