Move from bower to npm

[martin-s]

I would like to propose to centralize package management to npm. So, packages in bower.json are moved to package.json as devDependencies.
What are the pros for bower? I would prefer to just use one single tool for package management. Wdyt?

I'm open to moving to npm but now I believe more packages (front-end) are still published to bower than to npm. Thats changing but I'm not sure its at critical mass just yet.

I'm certainly not in love with bower.

Hi all,

I've seen this question come up before and would like to know what exactly are the pros and cons of these. So I made a questionnaire. If you would like to fill it out, I'll add that knowledge to the central knowledge base of technology product features here and everyone will be able to easily see the trade-offs.

Click here to do the questionnaire. Choose Package Managers to describe Bower or NPM specifically.

Thanks,
Dan
