Node/npm should get a mention. On a simple static website I've seen, a couple of grunt tasks end up pulling in over 14,000 files. And a hugely nested directory structure. Part of it is the ... interesting ... idea that individual functions should come in their own module. Some npm modules are literally 6 lines of code. But they get packaged up just like everything else. There's no concept of having a stdlib or something. (Apparently node/v8/minifiers aren't smart enough to do a good job if you use a stdlib.)
