I've had too many terrible experiences having to maintain and work with buggy and poorly designed Node/Typescript packages. I'm especially thinking of the terrible choice of ORMs available for Node, Typescript in particular. TypeORM seems the de-facto standard and my experiences with it have been horrific. It looks like Hibernate but works like a dumpster fire. There isn't anything as robust as ORMs like EF or Hibernate for Node. I feel that the shortcomings of the NPM community have been pointed out one too many times, but on too many occasions I've felt that development of a product was made much harder by the choices of poorly developed frameworks as dependencies.
