Strong rec to choose PNPM over yarn. I just posted this in a peer comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47415173

This is quite spammy; you could mitigate it by explaining what you think the "needless suffering" is. Having been using npm, pnpm, and yarn for many years the only benefit I find with pnpm is a little bit of speed when using the cli, but not enough that I notice; I've outlined the major yarn benefit to me 'in a peer comment' (which I didn't realise was you when I answered) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47415660
replyI expect yarn to have a real competitor sooner rather than later that will replace it; and I do wonder if it is this vfs module that will enable it.
I just use npm because I like to stay as vanilla as possible. Glad that alternatives exist though.
replyThis can't be overstated. The main benefit with yarn berry (v4+) is being able to commit the dependencies to the repo - I have yarn based tools that I wrote years ago that just work wheras I frequently find npm and python tools are broken due to version changes. However this benefit comes at a setup cost and a lot more on disk complexity - one off tools are just npm and done.
