Lodash dropped bower support in favor of npm because "16% use bower vs. 76% npm for AMD packages": https://twitter.com/jdalton/status/677323442488672257

Given that there were 14825158 downloads of lodash from npm last month, that implies that there were over 3M downloads from bower. That's a lot of people to throw under the bus.

According to bower stats over the last 7 days lodash was installed 23 times compared to 4 million npm downloads & 181 new npm packages depending on it.

I think it's time to check out a jquery alternative. My recent projects are basically only using deep copies and some semi-complex selectors. lodash + querySelector should cover pretty much everything at this point.

Have you checked out Lea Verou's Bliss.js? http://blissfuljs.com/ It's super minimal and basically relies on querySelector. Give it a whirl and see if it fits your needs.

Very cool...been looking for something like that for a project I am working on right now, as a matter of fact.

JSPM! It works a lot like NPM but is specifically intended for use with front-end modules. Features: - uses System.js (a polyfill for the future ES6-module-loader spec - supports CommonJS, AMD, and UMD formats - has plugins for importing other types (ex css) - support Typescript/Traceur/Babel out of the box - uses a flat dependency structure (ie like NPM v3) - can generate bundles and self-executing bundles (incl tre…

Personally I'll stick with RPM for all my JS packaging needs.

Why?

It doesn't cover any of the functionality that JSPM provides and publishing modules as RPM only makes them available to (at most) 1%-2% of users.

JSPM is written in Node and available via NPM. So... it works on pretty much anything out of the box.

Bower is no longer actively maintained: https://github.com/bower/bower/pull/1748

If more major libraries drop support for bower, it might (hopefully) die soon. What does bower do better than NPM?

Well, I haven't used npm for css packages yet, but presumably it's okay with webpack/brunch etc.

For Brunch, looks like [initial, probably v buggy] NPM stuff went into master about 10 days ago.

You'd even need multiple busses ;)

I've been using npm support in Brunch and so far so good.
