That 200k figure isn&#x27;t very comparable to other languages either as there are a lot of pacakages that just do a tiny thing and a hell if a lot of overlap in packages.<p>While that&#x27;s got upsides I must admit I prefer one or two relatively complete and stable packages over way more numerically but leas stable complete packages.<p>But I come from a desktop background so I&#x27;m spoilt in that regard I guess.<p>I view every additional depency as a weakness a year from now.
