Not that I agree with the GP, but I think it’s easy to conflate “node”_modules with “modules from NPM”. Bower was once the recommended package manager for front-end assets, but NPM overtook it. I use Node daily, but 90% of my packages are front end.

Uh yeah, the fact that people using npm for frontend too means alternative front end package managers isn't as good (or as suitable) as npm. I take it as even though NPM isn't aimed for that, it works well.
