npmjs.com is not slow and not something I need to interact with very often.
And npmjs.com is still the authority when it comes to publishing packages, no? So I'd still have to use it.

I mean are we really arguing over milliseconds here? I have never in my life had the thought "NPM search is too slow, I need a faster solution"
I have had the thought "NPM search sorted by downloads this week is giving me irrelevant packages" - but I'm not sure this tool solves that.

My only pain point, that I solved with a few lines of elisp, was to go to npmjs, to find the repo link for my dependencies. What's in `node_modules` may be compiled to an inscrutable blob and it's rare to find good library docs.

I'm not sure what features I'm supposed to notice that are better, but having built-in API docs and source code browsing is nice. (Though slightly laggy.)
Nit: there are distracting animations, such as on the weekly download graph.

Aaaand, it's down. Is it's inability to handle light load what makes it modern?
