    [npm]is well suited while we use it to install packages to windows, it is used to start the project from scratch to install dependencies.

    There is really no real reason why not to use Yarn today. It's much faster than npm, and you will need a dependency management system anyway. The only thing that might be missing is the fact that it doesn't come natively with NodeJS, and you have to install it yourself. I'd like to see the NodeJS ecosystem include Yarn by default.

    • Rarely, some server connection error appear, while npm works alright.
    • Sometimes, deleting the whole vendor directory is the best solution to solve weird issues.
    • You still might need npm to install Yarn.
