Dependency minimalism (writing software that deliberately tries to have as few dependencies as practical) is a really underrated virtue imo.

Every single dependency is a risk that "something will go wrong" during someone's installation process. Installing projects with hundreds of dependencies and walking through errors can be incredibly frustrating.

Also, each dependency is a risk of a security vulnerability you can’t see or might be introduced, as well as the risk of intentional malice by the developer of the dependency.
