Upon first seeing npm 3.x I immediately added `--progress false --color false` to my npm installs and never looked back. Color and terminal graphics are the work of the devil.
Or you know, it's 2016, and it's npm who does it badly.
Edit, reminds me of this, which is why I'm wondering http://stackoverflow.com/q/21947452/923847
The funky progress bar is about the coolest thing with npm. They could let it take a minute if they wanted too and i would keep watching it with amazement.
npm 2.x user here. Does anybody want to share a video of the 3.x progress bar? (Easy with QuickTime or CloudApp, btw)

just gugel it
"ied package manager" works, though.
Progress bar or not, npm has gotten extremely slow with v3, to the extent that someone is working on a performance-centered alternative called ied: http://gugel.io/ied/ installs are literally the #1 thing npm needs to do well, and I really hope we see some improvement soon.
