If we only need to update NPM, we can do it in a matter of seconds. Luckily enough, we can easily update them both with a bit of manual work: let’s see how. This can be a minor nuisance or a major problem, depending how much you’re using these tools and how often you need to keep them up-to-date – which is something that VS2015 doesn’t allow you to do from within the GUI. Conversely, among the things I love the least there is the fact that, sadly, the designers chose to ship the product with it’s own version of Node.js and NPM providing them in a internal bundle package instead of installing and using them as external executables.
Among the things I love the most in Visual Studio 2015 is the seamless integrations of some of the most advanced community-driven, modern development tools such as Node.js, NPM and Bower.
