npm? Really? That seems weird.
npm is actually a great tool to get dependencies of all kinds, not just JavaScript files.
Isn't that what bower is for?

What's with the huge difference in file sizes on the Illustrator and Photoshop version downloads (~200MB+) vs Sketch (~3MB)? PSD file size I could understand if they had rasterized the 2 color icons but shouldn't vector AI file sizes be similar to the vector Sketch file sizes?
.sketch file doesn't include bitmaps.

#14Too many of them have an overall square or perfect circle shape. If you squint, they look the same. Better to use varying shapes and take advantage of our good ability to distinguish silhouettes.
you talk like they took design and usability classes.
this is all marketing

This is undoubtedly a ploy to entice developers into using their icons everywhere, so Google can subliminally convey its secret message to take over the world.
No. But the fact that image meta data can be exploited is one reason.
Are you honestly suggesting that Google is including malicious meta data in an icon pack it uploaded to Github?

Sure - but a ton of people are swapping over to things like Browserify, which use NPM as the package manager even on the front end.

#18For iOS developers that want to use the new PDF image catalogs in Xcode 6 (which automatically generate the @1x, @2x and @3x images so you don't have to add them individually) I have forked the repository and added them at https://github.com/programmingthomas/material-design-icons.

Illustrator's .ai files have a fairly huge base size. An empty document is over 640 kB.
I think there's a bunch of stuff in the file to support older Illustrator versions -- PostScript libraries, stuff like that...
