Questions

I am also considering creating a native app similar to CakePhp or Node.js. I am more of a PHP guy, but I hear it's outdated and would be pretty difficult for others to make changes, if used as part of the server side. If I am considering having a native app, is there any limitation if I was to use something like Node.js over PHP, or what else can I consider? I hear express and meteor are worth considering... Any advice? Database will MongoDB. For the client side: will use Bootstrap, Jquery, JavaScript...

As of this writing the latest version of PHP was released a mere 21 days ago -- certainly nothing 'outdated' about it!

My advice would be to not worry about the latest/greatest/most hyped up new thing, and simply go with what you know. You can make serious progress on your product much quicker if you stick with a stack you're already comfortable with.

I say all of the above as someone who doesn't really like PHP, too, for what it's worth -- choice of stack is much more about personal preference than any objective measure of what is 'best'.
