it bothers me a bit when people talk about large dependency graphs like they're somebody else's problem. if your software has 1000 deps that's *your problem* don't palm it off on the ecosystem for having packages! i would be much more receptive to people complaining about the dependencies of software they're using, usually having a gigantic dependency tree just means you're importing a 'framework' or three. (and yeah i realise this is a pedantic distinction)
