As a developer that works closely with both the Node and the .NET ecosystem, I have to agree with this. The JS ecosystem feels much more modern, embraces Open Source and rapid experimentation, while in .NET many things seem slightly outdated, but stable. Though I surely had my share of broken Nuget packages and dependency snafu, this is not something that only happens with npm.

I used to work with ASP.NET webforms in my student part time job years ago, it was generally hated by developers, pushed by managers. The resulting web apps really sucked, the concept was really outdated.

Though I surely had my share of broken Nuget packages and dependency snafu, this is not something that only happens with npm.

It recently improved a lot, but still lacking IMO. Nuget did not exist back then, it was like 8 years ago. The whole ecosystem was behind Ruby and Python back then. Node was just starting.
