npm desperately needs a flat install option.

  This is probably a naive question, but the only use case I've come across of needing a flat-install option was to use Polymer.js web components (which is why so much of the polymer project relies on bower). Aside from that, what is the use case that flat installs solve?

    Not naive, and that's pretty much the primary reason. But for all web components in general, not just the Polymer flavor.

      gotcha, that makes sense. My only expose to web components was polymer. Thanks for the clarification

  What does "flat install" mean?
