Re: NPM, how does that work? Do you manually unpack tarballs? I believe some distributions package popular NPM modules, but certainly not all of them -- not using npm doesn't really seem feasible.

(Not to mention that, in the case of pnpm at least, everything's installed into a store directory in your HOME. Seems fine to me.)
