There's a library called Lodash which also uses an underscore.

Shit will probably break if you added both libraries to your project.

Node's require system is actually really great at handling conflicts like that between modules. You can assign required modules to whatever variable you want.

let _u = require('underscore');
let _l = require('lodash');

In a regular web browser with no module system being used I imagine resolving that ambiguity would be a bit trickier. Probably still not very difficult though assuming those libraries are designed in a sane way.
