"My experience with npm has been very good. It is by far the best package manage"
What do you like best about npm?

When we install a package the dependencies are by default taken care of. The number of packages available with npm is by far the greatest in terms of numbers and quality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about npm?

Sometimes the versioning issues are there which are not self rectified and not that easy to solve. This is the main issue I faced while using npm, everything else is good only. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best command to use for a front end CLI user."
What do you like best about npm?

For any CLI user developing the front-end, the main task is to install all the necessary tools. Npm makes the installations just a command away, increasing a programmer's efficiency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about npm?

Compared to many tools which offer good jar and tgz files for direct download of the installations, npm takes time to install all the modules, and the system needs to restart to reflect those changes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The best package manager for Node.js is typically considered to be npm (Node Package Manager), which is the default package manager for Node.js. Another popular option is Yarn, which is known for its speed and reliability. Both npm and Yarn are widely used in the Node.js community."
What do you like best about npm?

The best package manager for Node.js, which comes built-in with Node.js itself, is npm (Node Package Manager). It can be used to install packages, update dependencies, and configure scripts for your project. It also makes versioning of your product easier, so release numbers can be maintained. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about npm?

It's a hassle when you update Node.js via NPM. The process is simple, but the final result installs the new version in a different location. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
