I’m pretty sure Node developers usually don’t install Node from npm.

Does nvm not use npm internally?

Github shows 98% of code is "Shell" on top of that there are also many different package managers that people use: fnm, volta that are build with rust. You can also install nodejs using homebrew.

No. It downloads binaries from nodejs.org. There is no "official" canonical means of managing Node versions. It's just a grab bag of community tools like NVM.

I would dare to say that average person who works with Node does not use nvm.

Really? I think it’s even recommended on the node website’s install page

Yeah. For comparison, there are 27 million weekly downloads for React.

I'm not sure what conclusions we can draw from either number.
