I'm just starting from working with PHP and the worst part was de npm enviroment. There are SO MANY copies of the same packages and the npm UX is very improvable. Maybe is unexperience talking but it seems like the project building part is a mess with a long way to improve. What are the experienced devs take on this?
I've been working with JS for quite a long time but I feel the same problem: the package management system has room for improvement.
The main issue, though, is not the package manager itself but the easiness for anybody to publish their own fork of the same package that is slightly different and solves a very specific problem that the author is facing. Don't you feel the same? I'm wondering if the developers in the JS community have ever heard of pull requests on Open Source Software.
