I think npm, pip and the like are great for distributing dev packages because I might need to have different versions for different projects and many stuff I don't want to install system wide.
However, I don't like when end user applications are distributed through one of those package managers, I'd rather have them available through the OS package manager.

Agreed, for dev dependencies it's a very nice thing.
