One thing that bothers me about the Node community is how the first person to implement a protocol/API/wrapper tends to name their package something like 'protocol' or 'protocol-js' instead of something like 'a-clever-differentiable-brand-name' as is common in other software communities. That makes it hard to distinguish an unmaintained package with tons of bugs from a more polished version sponsored by a big-name contributor, and makes it easy - even encourages - consumers to place unwarranted trust in packages with legitimate-sounding names. As an example, consider if a new browser on Linux was packaged as 'browser-linux' in the system repositories-- how many downloads would it get?
