It is not recommended to use third-party libraries that are deprecated or have not been actively maintained for a long time because these deprecated or non maintained libraries are not up to date with their dependencies (these dependencies are indirect dependencies to your project) which results in application exposed to the known security vulnerabilities. Along with this, these libraries often contain outdated or old language features or framework features that might not be compatible with your language or framework versions.

This issue does support recommending a better alternative for the reported library. Currently, this issue reports for the following commonly used libraries that developers often miss

request
cross-env
tslint
jscs
babel-eslint
babylon
memory-fs
node-libs-browser
owl.carousel
glamorous
angular-ui-utils
uglifyjs-webpack-plugin
bootstrap-timepicker
cropper
react-hot-loader
scribe
node-serialize
cli
cst
esmangle

Bad Practice

const fetchUtil = require('request')
const env = require('cross-env')

Bad Practice
