GitHub is going the wrong way, but there really is nothing workable for open-source projects except GitHub. I don’t want to register on all these random GitHub killers just to open an issue or PR in a random project I’ve interacted with.
For personal or team setups, any third-party service will work well.

Open source projects existed just fine before GitHub, and they will exist just fine if they choose to move off GitHub as well. It's not a big deal if people won't do drive by contributions any more.
Actually, my problem is not really with NPM itself or the fact that it can be hacked, but with the damn auto-update policy of software – as users we usually have no idea which versions are installed, and there is even no way to roll back to a safe version.
All these Chrome, VSCode, Discord, Electron-apps, browser extensions, etc – they all update ± every week, and I can't even tell what features are being added. For comparison, Sublime updates once a YEAR and I'm totally fine with that.
And of course in this case I explicitly searched for that, but the point is that if Google thinks Italian is your primary language, it will surface those results automatically, even when you might prefer the English original.
Probably this is caused by Reddit offering these pages to Google, rather than Google deciding to send you to a different URL on its own accord, but it's still annoying from an end user perspective.
I agree that there are too many dependencies in Rust. I support the idea of adding some of the more popular crates to std. Many applications use something like tracing, tracing-subscriber, and basic server/client functionality. It would be great to have simple, minimal-feature implementations of these in std — similar to how Go does it. If someone needs a more complex system, they can still use an external crate, but having basic building blocks in std would really help.
