Every time I wake up it seems like there is a new version of iojs.

That's why I always say that Node.js is the best server side JS framework. Pretty stable in terms of never getting updates quickly / etc.

And is that a good thing?

You are not forced to update (in another environment, I have customers with Rails apps in production of version 2.3, 3.0, 3.2, 4.0, 4.2) but you have the option to develop with the latest technology. In those Rails examples: I'll start new projects with Rails 4.2 and Ruby 2.2.2 and not with what I had two years ago. In the JS world, I'd start with ES6 and the latest v8, not the old one from node.

That's like saying a 486 CPU is more stable than a modern i7 CPU just because it's slower.
