NPM vs NPMPlus: Which do developers prefer?

Hey everyone, I’m trying to figure out which package manager to use for my next project. I’ve done some research on both NPM and NPMPlus, but I’m curious about what the community thinks. Has anyone used both? What are the pros and cons of each? I’d really appreciate hearing about your experiences, especially if you’ve switched from one to the other. Are there any specific features that make one stand out? Or maybe there are certain types of projects where one is clearly better? Thanks in advance for sharing your thoughts!

ey, i’ve used both. NPMPlus is pretty slick tbh. faster installs and less headaches with dependencies. But NPM still wins for me cuz of the huge community support. Plus, most of my team is used to npm so switching woud be a pain. depends on ur project tho, u know?

I’ve been using both NPM and NPMPlus extensively in my projects, and honestly, it’s a tough call. NPM is the old reliable - it’s been around forever and has a massive ecosystem. But NPMPlus has really impressed me lately with its performance improvements. I noticed significantly faster install times, especially on larger projects. The built-in security features in NPMPlus are also a big plus for me, as it saves time on manually auditing packages. That said, NPM’s familiarity and widespread adoption make it hard to beat for collaboration. Ultimately, I think it depends on your specific needs. For personal projects, I’m leaning towards NPMPlus these days, but for team projects, I still default to NPM for compatibility reasons.
