In my previous job, some PHP developers loved to pick on JS with that same accusation, then we checked the composer packages folder... Also, working with gradle now... I'd take the npm + webpack any day.

Maybe php has changed the last couple of years but the last time I worked with it the numbers of dependencies where nowhere near a typical node project.

  PHP has a standard library that's just incomparably larger than node's. That explains the number of packages. The size, OTOH, is usually in the same ballpark of a node project. If I import chrome from npm (for testing) in some way (directly or transitional), then node leaps ahead, when not, usually composer takes the lead.
