Reduce the number of node modules (determine the set of libraries) about xod

Completely agree.

Few preferences:

• sass / stylus — SASS. It is more readable, unambiguous and widespread (think of specialists)
• D3 — do we ever need it? Can’t Angular be used for querying and event subscribing of SVG?
• websocket — remove until we need em
• eslint — remove in favor of tslint-eslint-rules
• json5 — keep! Advanced users will write JSON5s by hand to extend the ecosystem

tslint-eslint-rules is a fake project 😡

Just search https://www.npmjs.com/package/tslint-eslint-rules for TODO. There are 152 rules not implemented. Just 21 implemented.

@nailxx about D3.
We don't really use its features right now. That library provides not just event handling, it provides transitions, scale, creating SVG objects, manipulate with geometry and etc.

But in case that we use d3, I think it will be better to create all SVG graphics with D3 and don't mix html+angular2+d3 (and as a result we get all view in one place, instead of describing SVG objects and some styles in HTML, attributes and some other styles for this objects in a component.ts and etc).

About tslint-eslint-rules — very sad.

I like the idea. We need to discuss how it can be done.

Done already
