Data point: On Windows when you run 'npm install' on a react boilerplate/starter project chances are 50/50 that it will work out of the box. A year ago it was way worse. I thought heavily on switching to Mac for no other reason but 'npm install' success rate on Windows.

- seanp2k2 11y agoHonestly it's not much better on OS X. The solution to failed npm installs is to keep running npm install until it works. If that doesn't work after about 6 times, wipe out node_modules dir and try again. Npm got lots of laughs at EmberConf this week. Everyone hates it but we all use it because it's what everyone uses.
