Hi,

I also don't see an issue with using nodejs in Horizon development 
environment. Is the problem in Django not differentiating the 
development and production environments by default?
Could the problem be resolved by having two different environments with 
the two requirements files etc. similar as Rails does?

Regarding less, I don't really care what compiler we use as long as it 
works. And if we need to provide uncompiled less for production, then 
let's use Lesscpy.
