<< Die heart Node.js fan >>

As much as I love Node.js, I have grown to dislike npm. Git + Github is a much nicer way to publish.

Also the whole left-pad fiasco.

Not going to defend npm here, but how is using Github as registry going to avoid left-pad-gate?

you are right - its not possible to avoid left-pad-gate due to github being a similar company as npm ( in terms of law ).

But using git means its theoretically possible to have multiple registries - etc.

To be quite frank, the fact that the node community hasn't adopted vendoring as a standard practice speaks volumes about that community.
