As a semi-outsider to the frontend and node development worlds, it continues to surprise me that a viable alternative to npm still hasn't come along. Not trying to pile more hate on npm, but there's been many years of complaints about instability, horrid UX, bad security model, user hostility, etc. Yarn was just a first step. If there was a system with half the features, but made sense and was secure I think the community would shift very quickly.
