Reviewer scorecard
“The Java 8-to-17 migration feature alone can save teams months. AWS-specific knowledge is unmatched.”
“3x faster installs, strict dependency resolution, and disk space savings. The best JavaScript package manager.”
“Only makes sense if you're deep in AWS. The general coding assistance lags behind Copilot and Claude.”
“Strictly better than npm in every measurable way. The strict node_modules prevents dependency bugs.”
“Amazon's enterprise distribution ensures adoption. The AWS-specific capabilities create a defensible niche.”
“pnpm's content-addressable store is the right architecture. Bun's speed will push it further.”
