Nice tips! I was aware of the alias for i, but I didn't know about isntall. Very useful alias I imagine :) Thanks!

Yup, I suppose someone on the NPM team has made enough typos to include this by default :D

Thanks for reading! I do, but like I always preach: developers need to think what their needs are before choosing the right tool for the job. If you have very complex build needs and prefer to keep it all in the JS world, it might be a good idea to go with one of the usual tools. But if you don't mind having a poliglot setup, you can benefit from the power of other tools that you'll gain access to (such as direct bash access).

In the end, it's all up to the developer, there is nothing you can't do with any language, it's just a matter of preference. The point of this article, is to remind Node developers that there is another way. That's all.

Thanks for reading!
