An age old debate about package managers
Each have their pros & their cons
I personally prefer Yarn - I think it's general installation of packages is quicker and I REALLY appreciate its peer dependency resolution it saves LOADS of time.
So - what is your go-to package manager and why?

I've come back around to npm. I think yarn should follow the way of io.js and fold into upstream

I prefer to use npm the most because it's usually the default. Otherwise my choice would be Yarn if the package has it as default.

I prefer the Jurassic era
I use PNPM otherwise yarn, if I want to not really care about peer dependencies.
Even tho, the latest NPM is quite fast, it's still not as good.
I use npm because it is the standards, I never gave too much toughts about it
NPM because there is no reason to change it, some people can say it is slow, but come on you are not in a race, and no it is not that slow, even more for a thing that you don't do every day. Another thing is, if you have so much dependencies that it is really slow using any tool you probably need to rethink the need of them. I could be wrong but that is what I think.
NPM Has managed to catch up with Yarn in recent years with regards to feature set, and we don't really suffer from the "slow installation" problem Yarn claims to solve.
Sufficed to say we switched back to NPM
Yarn for now. But after reading the posts of others I kinda want to explore pnpm :)...
