The pain is real. Most of the issues are navigable, but often take careful thought versus some canned recipe. npm or yarn in large projects can be a nightmare. starting with pnpm makes it a dream. Sometimes migrating to pnpm can be rough, because projects that work may rely on incorrect, transitive, undeclared deps actually resolving. Anyway, starting from pnpm generally resolves this sort of chaos.

Most packing managers are developed.

Pnpm is engineered.

It’s one of the few projects I donate to on GitHub
