One can stick to plain and fast SSGs without bringing NPM into the picture. Maintain dependencies in your repository. I think there is extraordinary evidence been presented over the past several years to derive the judgement that NPM is terrible. It is a dismissal with very real and actual substance. One just needs to go through the several dozen critique on HN alone - all supported with a truckload of data, horrendous experiences and security vulnerabilities. Frameworks which marry themselves to this ecosystem are OK for those developers who are already in NPM hell. My apologies for your suffering - but the rest of us don't need to join the cult of doom.
