It is.
But will it be simpler to pick up all of the dependencies for those
packages (angular falls near the low end of how many other packages it
depends on)?
Mind that you get the correct versions of each of them now, and Ghu
help you if two of your packages both require a third package... but
different versions of it. And then you get to repeat the whole
happy-fun process if you wish to move to a newer version of anything.
_Those_ headaches are what make package managers worthwhile.
(n.b. - I have my own set of issues with npm in particular, but that's
nowhere near enough reason to go back to manual package management. I
do contemplate writing a "better" (by my light) package manager than
npm from time to time.)

Speaking just for me, I don't think I have Linux blinders on my
eyes. I can see other platforms, but I *choose* to ignore them on the
theory that if I ignore them hard enough they will go away.
This theory is obviously crazy. However, it also appears to be working.
