One year on and still most developers arent using yarn v2?
Why?
In my opinion there are too many complexities and teething issues, which goes against one of Yarns very own philosophy "Developing Javascript projects should be easy" .

Does anyone here have positive experiences with yarn2? id love to hear them.

I haven't use it yet - but cross platform scripting sounds exactly like something that could make developing easier.

However, my wish would be a step beyond that - I wish yarn would use use a package.js or package.ts file instead of package.json, and package.json would be generated just-in-time on the fly with a "yarn gen-pkg ..." command. That would really handy for dev vs rls modes, and for writing cross-platform scripts in nodejs.

Well, still most developers aren't using yarn v1 either :) such adoption is a slow and steady process, and we're fairly happy of our adoption rate. as for positive experiences, I suggest you come to our Discord, we have some regular users that will surely be happy to share their experience.
