"Great tool for managing static resources"
What do you like best about Bower?

Its a great robust tool for managing frontend static assets and libraries that could be a nightmare in some of the projects Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bower?

Umm. It should be as comprehensive as npm as mostly we're using bower side by side with npm. If bower can handle what npm does also. That'd be great Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Not the best tool for the job anymore"
What do you like best about Bower?

I liked the new idea on how to handle packages. It was one of the first frontend package managers for javascript I used. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bower?

I think it lacks features, the usage is a bit cumbersome (importing through script tags for each package) no option for tree shaking Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"It's a traditional way of managing your front-end package dependencies."
What do you like best about Bower?

It was helpful in it's time before the rise of npm, yarn and webpack. You could separate properly libraries only pertaining to front-end. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bower?

As far as I know, it doesn't automatically installs all the dependencies that are required by the packages referenced in your code. Which is inconvenient as it puts the burden of dependency management to the user. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing in particular, it's a valuable product IMO. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
