I understand why people jump to these packages. In theory it should all work nicely. But the hard readily is that more and more developers have become script kiddies that have no clue anymore what they are designing; This in turn has made good developers into a small minority and being shut out from creating great products.
We are at a point where so many dependencies exist that your complete project can fail because some idiot modified one single line in the other dependencies. The end-result is a massive insecure number of packages that no one can control anymore.
We are now at a point where we have to develop code to keep your projects floating while in reality you can kick out 99% of that code and design it yourself. More developers does not mean better, just a massive overhead of internal communication and projects that end up in failure over time.
