> I think you're a bit rude to NPM though. It had many things right and finding defects in retrospect is always an easy task. In retrospect, NPM was a bit rude to it's userbase. We've asked for support on custom, multiple, and private registries. PRs have even been made for them and Isaac explicitly shut them down only to later (much later) come out and talk about NPM Inc. NPM is a great tool, and the community for building upon it is absolutely fantastic and wonderful, but the leadership and advisory board behind it are pretty terrible for something as good as NPM. May be I am a bit harsh, and I may be a bit biased coming from "the old crowd" in Node before it was the cool thing on the block (funny to think back on Rubyist snickering at me for mentioning node to them :)) At least NPM has git URLs which is nice, and may be NPM can do these things (I've abandoned it for much saner practices other than cloning a 50+gb registry, pointing to a registry that falls back to an official registry [big security no-no, at least allow checksums], etc). Thank you for the perspective though, less whining and more typing (contributing to NPM). My anger is more so towards the leadership of NPM rather than the toolset itself and I didn't express that in my OC ^
