If the new js module ecosystem really is better, then js developers would publish new modules there instead of npm, and eventually legacy modules on npm would be migrated over. I don't think that is the issue. You don't have to use NPM to use deno, it's just an option. But yes, NPM is scary.

Yes but people usually follow the path of least resistance. If modules are on NPM they'll stay on NPM if there's little incentive to rewrite as ESM isomorphic modules and publish for Deno.

  yes, exactly. There needs to be more incentive

      by improving the js module ecosystem enough. I don't know if that's possible, it seems like more of a behavior change than technology.
