What do you like best about Bower?

The best way to keep your project's code repository up to date. Easy to install, update, or even remove packages. Version configuration and much more. And if you need to distribute the code, simply with the config file, copy it to the new destination and execute an install, it's that easy! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bower?

If you are not used to using the terminal environment, it can be a slow learning process, as it does not have a UI to manage packages. Also, if you want to search for something specific, you either do it from their website or, if not, it's more difficult to find what you need from the terminal.

"A secure package manager for frontend assets"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Bower?

Unlike other package managers for example NPM, Bower can have multiple files considered as main files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bower?

Most of the packages are also available on NPM, so making use of it can introduce tech debt if there is no other strong reason for it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
