I agree that Lodash would be a better choice because it seems like a well maintained project. There could be two counter args, in theory:
- if the programmer uses other functions included in Lodash his code will have a single larger point of failure. For example, if Lodash is unpublished (intentionally as in this case, or unintentionally) then the programmer will have a lot more work to redo.
- Lodash introduces a lot of code, while the programmer only needs one of its functions to pad a string.
- if the programmer uses other functions included in Lodash his code will have a single larger point of failure. For example, if Lodash is unpublished (intentionally as in this case, or unintentionally) then the programmer will have a lot more work to redo.
