> That and the ability to install a package in a shell, use it, then exit the shell and not have it installed globally is amazing.

I can't even count the number of packages I have installed because I needed them once. I have an entire Node.js ecosystem installed because I needed to run a frontend from another team for 20 minutes. Could I have done all that in a single shell, then had it automatically cleaned up when I was done? My current solution is to spin up a container, but that becomes a pain and I end up getting lazy and just globally installing everything again.
