Mhm that sounds reasonable. I haven't gotten into problems with versions yet but I don't really trust npm update, because I am not always sure how it behaves.

From a build tool perspective (we use npm scripts for basically everything [and some webpack]) I am also not missing something particular.

Looking at other comparable solutions (from other languages) I'd say npm does a pretty good job.

sure, it's better than pip or something.

but it still far from perfect.
