There are still some points of friction, but I'm content with it otherwise. The problems Deno resolves for me far outweigh the problems it introduces these days. I think the inflection point was roughly a year ago for me. Prior to that I really wanted to love it, but I ran into too many issues with the tooling I used most often. It was pretty frustrating. These days I rarely encounter anything at all, and I miss it a lot when I use other runtimes.
Deno has many of those things now, but my past experience wasn’t good. The first versions of Deno had a lot of friction; Bun however was more or less useful from day 1.
