I too have moaned and ranted about this the problem with installing "modern", dependency heavy apps -- it's to the point where it's borderline anxiety inducing. I take the upvotes as a sign it's widespread. There are examples of a really valuable package that myself and two coworkers independently have given up installing because the dependency nightmare was just too horrid (a C++ app).

When I started using Rust it truly felt like magic. I could any app by anyone and essentially `cargo build` would always just work. So effortlessly.
