What do you like best about npm?

Having used NPM for several years, I have found the documentation as well as content to be an essential tool in my development processes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about npm?

There is little to dislike; having said that, there is limited validation of the content submitted to NPM. This means that you could be downloading a completely non-functional set of tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy access"
What do you like best about npm?

It is very easy to add any plugin with minimal effort and most of the package contain individual descriptive descriptions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about npm?

Minimum backward compatibility Need to be shown on the package description. And what i suggest is those details should be mandatory. That is the only lack i saw on npm Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"npm is largely the most popular package manager"
What do you like best about npm?

npm comes preconfigured in Nodejs so you don't need to install it as a seperate tool. npm commands are easy to remember and use. And it also has configured aliases that allow you to perform common operation quickly like using "npm i" instead of "npm install" to install packages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about npm?

There are times when it fails to install packages while giving an error message like " JSON.parse Failed to parse package" which doesn't make any sense. But there is a lot on online help and for that error they recommend clearing the npm cache Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
