🧭 Context

We intend to describe npmx for what it is and intends to be, not for how it compares to alternatives.

We already made such adjustments many weeks ago, but a couple slipped through the cracks.

📚 Description

Reword the last remaining "better than..." wordings.

I believe this also supersedes #1988

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This pull request updates introductory content and localisation strings across the npmx.dev project. The changes include revisions to the English introduction documentation to adopt more action-oriented language, and updates to English and French locale files. The terminology shifts from describing features as "better" to "great" or "fast, modern," and clarifies descriptions of the platform's purpose and developer experience focus. All changes are content-based with no modifications to code logic or exported entities.

Left a few suggestions to make some formulations more catchy.

 ## What is npmx.dev?

-npmx.dev is a fast, modern browser for the npm registry. It doesn't aim to replace [npmjs.com](https://www.npmjs.com/), but provides a better UI and developer experience for browsing packages, viewing documentation, and exploring code.
+npmx.dev is a fast, modern browser for the npm registry, focused on a great developer experience for browsing packages, viewing documentation, and exploring code.


The start of the sentence repeats line 8

Suggestion, just synonyms: Engineered for browsing performance and modern usability for the npm registry... (or something to that end)

i18n/locales/en.json

    "title": "About",
    "heading": "about",
-    "meta_description": "npmx is a fast, modern browser for the npm registry. A better UX/DX for exploring npm packages.",
+    "meta_description": "npmx is a fast, modern browser for the npm registry. A great UX/DX for exploring npm packages.",


I would propose epithets like 'refined', 'seamless' instead of 'great'

      "not_package_manager": "Not a package manager.",
      "not_registry": "Not a registry.",

+      "registry_description": "We don't host packages. We're just a fast, modern way to browse them.",


I think we can drop the 'just' to make the sentence more catchy
