A somewhat sobering post explaining the background behind all this complexity. It is very easy to rant against complexity on its own, but respecting the background that lead to it - that requires nuance, history and a bit more words.

That said, one of the major problems is that there is no clear explanation for these boundaries in the tooling and code. Yes, you can `npm install lib` and unless it is documented in readme, it won't be obvious will this run in node only or in web too.
