I've got to disagree. After dealing with npm and grunt in an enterprise environment, MSBuild, Make and CMake start to look very very attractive.

  Actually I agree with you there. I just think that's a little like saying after watching your kid's new favourite cartoon for the sixth straight time on Christmas day, the evening family movie you first saw in 1987 starts to look very attractive.

    Well yeah, but continuing to use npm might be Stockholm Syndrome at this point!

      I'm not sure what your specific gripe is with npm. It's one of the fastest and most capable package managers out there, is easily better than Python's Pip (which doesn't resolve dependencies) [0] and Go's go-get silliness for example. If your problem is just 'lots of dependencies' that may break from under you, npm has a solution for that: 'npm shrinkwrap'.
