Remember, when we're triggered our reading comprehension goes down and we confuse emotion for facts. Did I say they ship more/less code? No, first I was talking about the user base size and the economic incentives for malicious users. For the most popular package: Debian: ~253K installs per month [1] NPM: ~236M installs per month [2] VSCode: ~158M installs total [3] Obviously VSCode is hard to compare, but the most popular Debian package would need 52 years to achieve the total VSCode numbers so I'm sure it's safe to say VSCode wins on installs. Ok, but let's take a look at how much code is shipping: Debian: 242k submissions per month for amd64 [4] NPM: ~50k new non-spam packages per month, ~800k new version submissions per month [5] VSCode: No data available It's really easy to forget that the number of JS developers or people using IDEs is much larger than the number of Linux users. So NPM still beats Debian on this front. As for the security assumption and how good a job maintainers are doing, I'm not so sure on that either. The xz utils backdoor into SSH was found by a Microsoft employee (i.e. The community) not by Debian maintainers. It's not hard to imagine that the lack of notable security issues (particularly attempts recorded) actually indicates very little review, not that there's a higher bar because the maintainers are more talented or have better incentives for "reasons".

At least I can use these extensions and get something resembling the service I want to pay for.

It also links to his employer (https://lualtek.io). Maybe someone should let his employer know what their employee is up to :).
