I find NPM packaging ridiculous. Awhile I go I used NPM on windows, where the folder hierarchy became so deep it broke windows file handling. I could not delete the modules folder. I had install a npm package which allowed me to delete it. I think this is fixed in new versions by flattening the hierarchy, but still.
