Enterprise is slow but sure to follow. Look at NodeJS adoption for example today compared to 2 years ago.

Adoption is still zero on the projects I am involved with, to the point that one of the new features in Visual Studio is to access JavaScript libraries without any dependency on nodejs.

So you work on enterprise projects which have zero NodeJs adoption. Got it. And what's with the reference to the plugin ?

It explicitly states itself as being a way to "simply [want to] acquire a couple of files" I don't get the connection you're trying to make.

Apparently you haven't read everything.

" - If your project does not require additional tools (like Node, npm, Gulp, Grunt, WebPack, etc) and you simply want to acquire a couple of files, then LibMan might be for you.

- LibMan lets you specify exactly where the files should be placed inside your project. (No additional build tasks or manual file copying required!)

- LibMan provides the benefit of a much smaller footprint in your web project as it only downloads the files you need. "

Basically the way to avoid touching node or anything related to it.

Did read, still don't get it. My point is SV/ Open Source is first to adopt newer tech. Enterprise follows by using these open source projects or acquiring companies that use this newer tech or just copying/building over them. I see wide adoption of JS on the server side in enterprise today compared to just a couple of years ago and NodeJS/NPM are the dominant forces in that direction. Some may be vary of NodeJS/server side js, sure but not most.
