There are so many examples of large companies and open source projects that have moved off of npm that I just don’t think this is true anymore. PNPM and bun are fast enough that the increase in development velocity is worth the occasional rough edge IMO.

That's... absurd. PNPM is superior to NPM, with no downsides. It's a fundamentally better tool.
