Thanks for this! This is really helpful. To expand further, I can't tell you how many times I've written something as simple as a promised version of fs exists, and if you do copy and paste something like that into your project you have to bring it's deps (tracking them down in package.json) in and tests (for full coverage into your new project. Alternatively you make it a one-off npm module. It just seems like both those options are cumbersome and inefficient for one function. I'm very much against the MVC setup (I'm working with mainly API's), and as well as OOP in general, and write a ton of very small functions, some that expand on tools like lodash, and that I use a lot. This is where it gets harder and harder to maintain them.
