Yarn [0] might be a great alternative for those who have been bitten in the proverbial ass by npm a bit too many times.

I've recommended yarn for projects of mine that were broken by npm5, but it has some of its own issues. It's also not bundled by default which is really important for JavaScript tools that are used by beginners.

Our deployment setups explicitly roll back to npm 4. every version of npm5 has had problems with some step (currently fighting issues with react-native), including the latest 5.5.1 :(

Another option is pnpm(https://pnpm.js.org), a lesser known but much faster alternative.
