NPM is a package manager. Expert developers are not scared it's just Meteor is horrible solution to majority of use cases that they need to address. You need to read up on what Meteor actually is and what it's limitations are. Major ones have being outlined above: 1) No usable uinversial/isomorphic option so SEO is gone. 2) you can't expose API for external consumption 3) you are tied to only supported storage backends 4) if you are not talking directly to storage layer it's only cool feature is useless

None of the above is limitation of node (or has anything to do with npm package manager).
