  NPM managed to look at all the other package managers out there--bundler, etc.--and pick the worst way of doing things. So, first, the entire idea of having arbitrarily nested--and versioned!--dependencies is not good, least of all because it means that you can end up with like five different versions of underscore or lodash in your project. This is just plain ugly. Second, there were two issues spanning like two years of discussion about this nesting. Specifically, on one of the official operating systems supported (cough windows cough), this nesting of directories tends to cause things to break in weird ways. This is especially annoying when bundling for deployment or cleaning during CI. They're still hemming and hawing about fixing it--and that's only after finally admitting they goofed.
