As a person who uses npm just for some hobby coding projects, it's quite frustrating that there are new partly incompatible package managers for the javascript ecosystem: npm, pnpm, yarn, yarn 2.

Some packages need one, some another, so I tried to switch to yarn (or yarn 2) for a package that I wanted to try out, but then other packages stopped working.

If there are clearly better algorithms, why not refactor npm and add them in experimental flags to npm and then setting them to default as they mature (with safe switching from one data structure or another)?
