For me doesn't really matter which one to use as long as the real problem exists which is the node_modules folder, unfortunately after over a decade of NodeJs this problem still isn't fixed, why should I have more than 30k of dependency files for every simple Create-React-App app, why there is not a centralized dependency management solution like C#, Currently I have a few React and Angular projects and the size of node_modules folders are almost 5GB and millions of files, I know there are some solution for this like PNPM but they are not without problems and also not as straight forward.
