I very much like the added TypeScript support (which the standard NPM registry does not have.) and that it's open-source.
I'll see about getting my packages uploaded onto here, too -- just having built-in support for TypeScript makes packaging x100 easier.
Regarding NPM, it's absolutely insane that we've been depending upon a closed-source, monolithic nightmare with poor UX for so long. You can't even use comments in package.json -- overall, it feels like a holdover we haven't figured out how to replace.
Furthermore, it's scary that Microsoft, through GitHub, now hold so much power over the JavaScript industry -- enshittification will most likely ensue.
