You'll find that the "user land" -- the 3rd party modules created by other devs -- is very much the same way. At first, I was surprised and it didn't seem right -- or at least didn't seem familiar. But once I got comfortable with it, I love it, because I can pick and choose only the functionality I need -- no more, no less -- and put it exactly where I want it.
That's not exactly right 'cause good luck getting "request" module without https tunnelling support, or "express" without fancy qs parsing.
Flavors were suggested in npm (https://github.com/isaacs/npm/issues/3933), but not (yet?) implemented.
It's still better than big ugly php frameworks though.
Two posts that I really like that help outline the node/unix philosophy are http://blog.izs.me/post/48281998870/unix-philosophy-and-node-js and http://blog.izs.me/post/146672514/going-fast-frankenstein-and-refactoring.
I usually like to say to that "izs, you're right of course, but look at the npm you wrote". :)
Also, these are those fat ugly Gruntfiles living out there, and human-unreadable package.jsons (thank God, not xml). We don't really have unix way, no, it's nothing like it.
