Just the fact that Yarn seems to be the dominant package manager now when it seems like last week it was npm. What will it be next week?

I truly wonder, do people use this stuff for software that is expected to be maintained for 5-10 years? I feel that with the speed at which everything changes, gets deprecated, discontinued, succeeded, etc. you'll spend a good chunk of your time staying up to date with the current js ecosystem. That doesn't seem very economic to me.

Naw it's back to npm

Pnpm ? Seems every week another flavour without any benefits.

pnpm has some advantages

I have used yarn since 2018. It was developed in 2016.

What does dominant even mean in such a short term context? It hasn’t even been 10 years.

As far as companies go, we move so slowly that when someone brings up a tech fad, the fad is gone by the time the committee actually gets to decide. So we stick with the status quo.

Basically npm fell heavily behind in development so people switched to yarn; it's back to npm now. This is over a timescale of 10 years or so.

I'm one of "those".

I'm using bun now, but I was on pnpm for a while.
