Yarn 2.0 seems to have failed because all the projects I've seen using Yarn are still on Yarn 1.0. It's slow and glitchy, and I feel quite uneasy using it. I switched to either npm or pnpm for all my projects about three years ago, and the number of errors I've encountered has significantly decreased compared to when I was using Yarn. So, my question is: Is Yarn still a thing for frontend development in 2025?
Modern Yarn (currently on 4.x) works great. We use it in the Redux library repos. I don't think it ever hit a majority of usage, but the tool itself is solid. That said, yeah, PNPM has gotten more popularity lately.
avoid it.<p>the problem here is you end up requiring an unmaintained package manager on your devs workstations and on your ci and in your prod.<p>if your workflow can work with npm, why would you complicate?
