In addition to the other reasons mentioned, it has been my experience that when a new version of node is released, especially a new major version, strange errors can occur unless I trash the node_modules folder and reinstall all the modules with that version of node. Using a package.json makes that as easy as "rm -rf node_modules && npm install".
