Here's one feature they have that seems important:

> It's good npmx.dev shows git and https dependencies. I still think it's crazy npmjs.org doesn't.

Damn, I didn't even know that npm allows publishing dependencies that have git/https dependencies to the public registry.

A clear miss from npmjs.org on that, but I'm trying to think of when I've ever used it as a primary source for what dependencies a package has, or really even... anything at all. I only end up on it if I'm in a hurry and accidentally click an npmjs link instead of (usually) a GitHub link after using a search engine.
