Yes it's terrible but then again alot of package managers and dependencies are, however i think the sheer volume in javascript, and the accessibility for anyone to post to npm has it's own set of problems, one thing i noticed is that interfaces constantly change in NPM packages compared to others i work with, its very hard to not ending up locking to a specific version because of API updates. If this is due to JS community or the ease of access to create packages, i dont know but it has something to do with it.
