Choice between NAN and node-addon-api #684
Description
I've heard complaints that it's not clear which one is recommended in one specific scenario(NAN is still very useful if add-on is going to use v8's or libuv's APIs that are not exposed through N-API) to persons who are completely new to Node.js add-on development.
Searched on either node-addon-api's README and NAN's, also on google, there is no clear statement about this topic.

There is a recommendation in https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/master/doc/api/addons.md#c-addons to use N-API unless you need functionality that it does not expose.

In discussion in the last N-API team meeting suggestion from @legendecas was that we take some of the text from the existing Node doc and to the node-addon-api repo.
