Reviewer scorecard
“3x faster installs, strict dependency resolution, and disk space savings. The best JavaScript package manager.”
“Still the best API development environment. Postbot generating tests from your API schema saves hours. Collections shared across teams are essential.”
“Strictly better than npm in every measurable way. The strict node_modules prevents dependency bugs.”
“It has gotten bloated over the years but the core functionality is unmatched. The AI features are genuinely useful, not just checkbox items.”
“pnpm's content-addressable store is the right architecture. Bun's speed will push it further.”
“In an era of AI agents that can call APIs directly, do we still need a GUI for API testing? The future might be AI testing APIs autonomously.”
