PROS:

• Better Docker support. bcrypt works differently on different OSes, packages for Mac, Windows and Linux are different. So you have to load the appropriate package into the container, a huge hassle during development.

I'm a non pro, but I assume it has to work same on the browser so you can read on the server. And browsers are all different.

You miss understood me. bcrypt works the same on different OSes, but it apparently uses different packages on different OSes. This poses a problem for me as I'm developing projects on a Mac and use Docker images (which are based on Linux) to run them. The Docker image virtualizes the output directory on the Mac as the Node root. And in this case bcrypt fails. To continue using bcrypt, I'd have to install the bcrypt package on the image, which becomes a huge hassle, as I'd have to instal all the remaining Node packages onto the image, and every time I change the packages, I'd have to redo it on the image.
