py2js33816yIt's not npm that's bad, it's whole ecosystem is a big mess. For example I never saw anyone do a npm install without depreciation warnings of packages.

I prefer yarn. Npm fucked up at so many opportunities whereas things just work with yarn.

Like you need to look no further than to pip's hell of package management, to start appreciating how clean npm is.
