I don't know as a very heavy user of node I absolutely hate the hundreds and thousands of dependencies. A vast, vast majority of modules never maintain an LTS version of their module so when one module has a security update you better have the latest of everything (especially if it's a very common dependency) otherwise now you're stuck back porting security patches. I've had to back port security patches far more than I would ever like to admit. The node community is still pretty immature. Sure it's nice to rush ahead releasing version after version without having a LTS version but when I want to build something serious with it it can be downright frustrating.
