Those problems can also be a blessing. In the Rails ecosystem you end up with hundreds of gem dependencies that you probably don't need. In NPM, it's 100x worse. That is why, imo, many people cry foul when an ecosystem gets too mature (without realizing that that is why). There can be too few, but also too many packages.
