Please speak, if you can, on the mental toll the move to web ecosystem has taken on your native developers that have until now developed on respective native ecosystems. In particularly, I refer to having to work in JS, having to install tens if not hundreds if not thousands npm dependencies in order to do the most routine tasks, having to restart packager and clear cache every few runs, etc.

Packager has gotten pretty stable lately, you shouldn't need to restart it anymore. In regards npm modules, you only need to do so when upgrading dependencies which doesn't happen that often.

We also use yarn, an npm client FB built from the ground up to removes some of the pain with npm's one: https://code.facebook.com/posts/1840075619545360
