Little libraries

Given the sad state of libraries on npmjs.org I wish someone could figure out way to fix that issue for create.io before it gets too far.

Many of the libraries on npmjs which appear to be popular by number of users/downloads/stars are in fact seriously poorly written and bug ridden or at least that's been my experience. Maybe I just keep getting unlucky. Yes there are some nice libraries too :)

Is there anything that can be done? Would it require curators? Would rating help or would they be just as poor a metric as downloads because they'd basically be a popularity contest. It just seems like often I look for library and end up spending a 2-4 hours only to find nothing works so I end up writing it myself and feel less and less like checking to see if a library exists.
