I think that's a bit unfair. NPM has been a horrible package manager in a multitude of ways since day 1. My default assumption if it gets something wrong it isn't because it's hard, but because npm gets a lot of things wrong.

Yes, RubyGems got it right, but so did Composer. And Cargo. And every other language specific dependency manager I've used in over a decade. The lesson I'm drawing isn't that dependency management is uniquely hard, it's that npm is uniquely bad. :)

Comparison to NPM is also unfair because of the rather unique community around it.

Putting NPM on a pedestal of badness is unfair. NuGet deserves to be right up there next to it, but also holding the bouquet and wearing the tiara and waving to the crowd
