I envy you. I use Nix, pip, and npm on a daily basis and it's an uphill battle. I haven't used Bundler.

Well, nix looks awfully complicated. I've had trouble deploying applications using pip. Npm hasn't given me any trouble.

Bundler is lovely.

Once I did 'sudo npm -g update npm', just 3.x to 3.x+1 and the hell broke loose. I had to wipe entire nodejs and reinstall from scratch.

In other cases, 'npm update <package>' doesn't work and I have to do uninstall/install. Very common with typescript, for example.
