I am a dev who uses Node.js a lot and published quite a few packages; the state of npm is very, very sad. It has evolved from being one of the great things on Node.js to something you have to fight constantly with counterintuitive defaults everywhere. Not that it used to be much better, but these issues were only acceptable when the ecosystem was smaller.
