I made a wrapp er script named npm on my $PATH that passes input to pnpm instead because of this. I don't think my team is ready to adopt something like that, but it seems to be working okay so far. Nobody has complained.

    Npm having a lot of packages at least partially a problem of lacking standard library, no? And partially developer culture where every trivial thing is a package. Anyway, similar thing will happen to rust soon enough (*looks at 1 gig of dependencies for a cli program*).
