I don't know if you guys are just trolling or think that I'm dumb (maybe both?). EVERYONE knows that you can use the full path or put the files at the root folder - both are far from being "optimal" as described on previous emails. It's not because you can do some silly hack that the problem doesn't exist, common patterns are usually a "sign" of "flaws" on the system itself.
Node.js is popular and because of that it has the power to "dictate" its own way and flexible systems will have to "bend" to fit the dull model. "Worse is Better"[1] really applies in this case. "Write once, run everywhere" won't happen anytime soon because some people insist to not follow the specs[2]. - that's exactly what made client-side development a chaos, don't commit the same mistake. I won't push this any further, maybe one day you guys will realize that in some specific cases this actually makes sense. I should not be spending my whole day adding more dependencies to my package.json or handling multiple separate repositories when keeping everything into a single project would be way easier to maintain. Don't hurt my productivity just because it goes against your personal preferences, think about the users and what they are trying to achieve, don't be a wall in the middle of the way.
