The external packages often provide more features that don't exist in core packages. > The "danger" is that MELPA might give the wrong impression of > popularity: Their download counter is an absolute number, and does not > account for the age of a package or the number of downloads that have > been updates (this skews towards older packages and packages with > frequent updates), or when a package was updated (this can be manually > approximated for some packages via archive.org). Some package archives handle this problem by displaying an additional counter of downloads over a shorter time period, e.g. the last year.
