I feel that Node is heading in the same direction too, as more and more people (especially those new to programming) start using it. At least with Node, using third party libraries and frameworks is more common than the 'copy and paste these lines of code' when I learnt PHP 15 years ago :D Thanks for helping to fix the situation!
