"Javascript's top package/dependency manager"
What do you like best about npm?

You can easily manage your local and global dependencies through npm. Npm maintains versions of libraries defined in package.json file that helps us to module everything at one place in order to resolve conflicts and dependency intelligently Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about npm?

Whenever i do npm install it takes every dependency from server without knowing if its already installed or not. Instead of npm yarn caches all the dependencies which makes its installation time faster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"npm makes it simple to install and maintain javascript packages in a project "
What do you like best about npm?

I like how npm manages dependencies. You can check for issues with dependencies or if there a updates. You can choose which versions of dependencies are installed by npm for specific projects or if npm can install the latest version. npm can also be used to create and set up automated scripts in a easy way.

What do you dislike about npm?

Sometimes but in very rare cases when I install a package globally by mistake and I try to uninstall, the uninstallation fails for some reason and am forced to do it manually Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
