I'm like you. I want as few dependencies as possible. I liked this about PHP: You could get very far without any dependencies at all. For a toy project, pull in some dependencies. For a more serious project that requires to do due diligence on every dependency you pull in, it gets annoying very quickly. Also, I kinda dread all the fast-changing version numbers in the JS ecosystem.
