It's similar and different at the same time. Both handle HTTP and Websockets at the same time, have different kind of adapters-hooks-pluggins to serve different needs. Both are opinionated, but Sails is more express-like (you can create "hooks" that are basically express middleware on steroids.

I've been using Sails since version 0.10 (about 4 years from now). At the time, it was the best framework you could find in Node with an MVC pattern. We are still using it, and it works perfectly fine for us. Even Waterline, its ORM has been great (we use MongoDB), and for doing some optimization/shortcomings, it has a .native method that allows you to implement whatever you need. I know that a lot of work have been put into this new version, including a totally new refactored Waterline, great improvements in speed and async/await support, much better code organization/style, etc. About the "lack of support", well, I know it's been slow sometimes, but, hey, it's open source, and all the work comes out the maintainers pocket (it's not backed regularly by any company). I really want to congratulate the team for reaching 1.0. I know all the effort you put into it, and always looking after the users, trying to make it better.
