Do you use them at all? Are they better than NPM/pip? Do you have a list of crates that you verified yourself that are good? Do you only use the Rust std?
I don't use too new crates and i try to avoid those with huge dependency trees, since it can cause problems with duplicated dependencies.
My biggest itch is that many crates define their deps too fine, Up to the minor version. its partially a fault of cargo.
its an problem since it duplicates dependencies.
