I remember it was that way for a long while.. but other than Python 2.x, and having a recent VS (Community Edition works) installed, haven't had many issues... at least no more than I've typically had with Linux.
I spend about equal parts of my development time between OSX, Linux and Windows... they all have had pain points for me. The only difference is in OSX dev you're likely to have XCode & homebrew. In windows, you may have VS, and probably won't have Python ^2.7.0 installed.
Part of why I've at least participated enough to raise a possible bit of help with the situation[1]. There are times when all you can reasonably do is raise the issue, and suggested fix... there are others where you should proactively fix it.
Node/npm's community is very open-source driven, and very diverse. I don't liken it as much worse than any other platform, and far better than most.
