“3x faster installs, strict dependency resolution, and disk space savings. The best JavaScript package manager.”
“One-time purchase vs subscription is refreshing. Git-native collections mean your API tests are version-controlled.”
“Strictly better than npm in every measurable way. The strict node_modules prevents dependency bugs.”
“Offline-first, git-native tools represent a pushback against SaaS subscriptions. Bruno leads this movement in API tools.”
“pnpm's content-addressable store is the right architecture. Bun's speed will push it further.”
