To make matters worse, each package gets its own node_modules directory. Do a grep for 'async' in your node_modules. Mine contains ~20 instances of it. Some of those, probably, are the exact same version.

Going further down shit creek, each project I work on has its own node_modules. Which duplicates all of this crap, ad nauseam.

Do I really need React and Babel and jQuery and Webpack installed for every goddamn repo? You're not a package manager if you're not managing packages!! You're a glorified wget.

Upgrade to npm v3, that should these problems.
