Hi, it seems you've completely misunderstood me. I didn't write this out of emotion. This isn't about AUR Helper either. I'm talking about package management via npm, pip, and similar tools, and the fact that issues like micro-package madness, the left-pad incident, and supply-chain attacks and and and have been a concern for a long time. I would prefer a method where everything is installed exclusively through a distribution's package manager, in our case, pacman, so that it can be completely uninstalled without any issues and can be installed anytime it's needed, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Npm_left-pad_incident .
