As a developer, I love JavaScript ecosystem for some of theses drawback of this package manager.
I'm be able to quickly publish a library on NPM and this is great IMO. Few years ago, I tried to do it for Maven in Java and it was a nightmare.

I don't think so. There are many tools, frameworks and libraries in JS and I love that. I learn from all of them and this is exciting. I don't want an ecosystem with only JQuery to do all I want. Sometimes I may use Vue.js, sometimes Angular or React... and that's great.
