alt Hacker NewsThe amount of people still using this instead of fetch. Nonetheless when wasn't axios, it would be something else.
This is why corporations doing it right don't allow installing the Internet into dev machines.
Yet everyone gets to throw their joke about PC virus, while having learnt nothing from it.

People are lazy. And sometimes they find old stuff via a google search and use that.
Axios has a long history, and is included in a lot of code, also in indirect dependencies. Just check its npm page: it has 174025 dependents as of this moment, including a lot of new packages (I see openclaw and mcp related packages in the list).
And with LLMs generating more and more code, the risk of copying old setups increases.
