- wongarsu 7y agoWhen I install the first 2-3 dependencies that causes npm to install 200 packages. I don't particularly like that, but it could be argued that this is a testament to how easy npm makes using third-party packages and how painlessly it does recursive dependency resolution.
- carlmr 7y agoExactly. It is such an easy to use package manager that people barely think about adding dependencies.
