:-1: npm is for node module. Bower is the place to be.

@mischah Since when has npm just been for node modules? jQuery is on npm. Last time I looked, of the top 15 trending JS repos, only 3 of them weren't on npm, and one of the ones that was is a UI library for AngularJS.

It can (and should) be on both Bower and npm.

Get with the times, brah! npm is for all JavaScript!

Just my two cents. No hating involved.

[ljharb]

Bower adds virtually nothing that npm doesn't have in spades. npm is for node-packaged modules, which don't even have to be javascript.

My vote would be to have it only on npm, but "also" is OK too.

It's been over a year, I suppose this won't be merged. Disappointed.

Closing this issue.

For what it's worth, you can depend on jquery-placeholder on npm, which is just a mirror of this repo.
