I have never left NPM because it's the one to most likely outlast all the newcomers. If we get lucky (which we have) npm, Inc will pour time and money into making NPM robust, fast, and secure. Plus it has always worked great, and some of the speed boosts we saw with Yarn was not a big enough incentive to leave the tool created by the same company who host the registry. Any time I see a big company release a new FOSS tool I err on the side of caution before I adopt. 90% of the time I end up not needing the tool because I am not google. also sometimes using and contributing to a FOSS tool that was released by a huge company might not be in the best interest of the open source community.
I partially agree with you. I mean, I am very comfortable using npm in my projects and I hope to be using it for a long time but, I believe that having variety of tools to choose between them, it enrich our nodejs ecosystem.
I am very curious when I find a new tool and I like to test it and, if I find this tool it is better than the one I am using it, I try to adapt it. With yarn I did it but I prefer npm by now, like you I think ;-)

Thanks for your comment.
