I would, but I enjoy wrapping a car tyre in barb wire, lying under it while it cuts my balls to shreds in the name of not writing code 🤤

npm is a good tool, it’s just abused to death by bad devs. Pip is a million times worse and devs still manage to abuse it, although not as bad as js devs

The tool is great, the repository as a collection of packages is bad.
