- enibundo 11y agoExactly my thought. Apart from the fact that it doesn't add anything to my existent Tool-chain at the moment.
- martiuk 11y agoI don't know what it is with node.js but people seem to want to reinvent everything with it.
- archimedes_owl 11y agoHipster hubris? The "cool kids" crowd that jumped from PHP to RoR to node.js. Please don't follow the hype: many of this tools will be abandoned when a new framework/language comes out and this will leave the Unix userspace more fragmented.
- Already__Taken 11y agonpm install myproject On mac, windows and anything nix + arm is a very compelling proposition. I'm not trying to say this is unique to node. It is what it is.

- jessaustin 11y agoIt's possible that if this were the case for some other platform, that would be seen as positive.
- jeremy_wiebe 11y agoMaybe it's just that that's the tooling/language that the author knows. I've been guilty of writing a tool in the language I'm most familiar with whether the greater community thought it was a good idea or not.
- striking 11y agoIt was the same thing with PHP back in the day. Node is a better language, but not by much. And the fact that it's easy to get started means you'll see a lot of this. My opinion? Node.js should only be used for streamed or evented data. It's just not built for other uses.
