What's is the top 10 package in nodes?

Really depends what you are trying to do...some of my favorite are: lodash, bluebird, express/koa... But npm sure should have some top packages list if I recall correctly.

@dmacdo02 understand, actually the reason I ask was the numbers of the pkgs was huge. It is difficult to find a point to start with ... Let's say I am a front end developer. There are several giant framework/stacks are already there .... Just want to filter out some to make the starting easier... Anyway.. thanks for letting me know ur thought...

Ahh fair enough... Luckily enough, frameworks are heavily talked about pieces, so there are tons of summary blogs and blogs sizing them up against each other... I'm not a front end developer, but when I've done a little bit of work I used react with alt and flux...I believe we used gulp to help while doing local dev...

Most tools I discover are because I am working on something and I say to myself there must be a better way to do x or someone must have already made a package to do y

Forgot to mention packages: mocha, sinon, eslint for code quality.
