I don't follow, should we then rename everything to cryptic, short characters like some people do in MongoDB (as someone suggested using n_m instead of node_modules)? If it works well in other platforms, it's an issue with that specific platform
windows has path length limits. Figure out how to live in them, whatever way is best. If that means using cryptic names, then do it. cryptic folder names, while not a good thing, are extremely common in windows.
