" summary

npm 6 claims to be dramatically faster — npm 6 is 20× faster than v4 and npm ci is twice as fast for CI — and it locks by default; it adds npx for one‑off commands and npm audit / npm audit fix to auto‑patch vulnerabilities. Registry data and a 16,000‑developer survey show 85% of users write front‑end code, 750,000 packages exist, Express still serves ~4.8M downloads/week, React hits ~60% usage, TypeScript at ~46%, and quick audits flag critical vulnerabilities in ~11% and high in ~37% of installs.
