> And I'm actually quite happy that most Deno projects don't have a custom testing and linting setup.

I feel similarly. The standard configurations (e.g. tsconfig, linting, formatting) and bolts-included tooling (test, lint, fmt, etc.) are what make Deno so great for developers.

I've started using Deno in my spare time for various projects - and it just _feels_ more productive. I go from idea to testing TypeScript in minutes - which never happened in Node land.

And that's great for greenfield projects - although there's competition with Biome and Vite / Vitest for a lot of those - but the vast majority of Node use today is existing projects, and at least at one point Deno (and Bun, maybe others) were marketed (I think?) as a drop-in replacement for NodeJS. But maybe I'm misremembering.
