npm requires that modules have unique names (first come first serve) and the import name always matches the directory containing the module. The import scheme also does aggressive namespacing so you have to go out of your way to do stuff that might screw up some other module's transitive dependencies.

There's a lot to hate about npm, but that part at least works pretty robustly.
