What are the advantages of using Yarn over NPM? It just feels to me that npm does anything that is needed and is available in stuff like ansible-node docker containers. Why should someone who is used to Yarn check Yarn?

For large repos it can be hundreds of times faster than NPM at installs

We are forced to migrate from npm to yarn: - Somehow one of our dependencies fail to install with old version of npm. - Updating npm to last version fixes this, but on some machines, npm install fails with a 401 error despite having no private registries configured. Still no fixes for this bug after multiples months: - https://github.com/npm/cli/issues/2799 https://github.com/npm/cli/issues/2799 - https://github.com/npm/cli/issues/3284 https://github.com/npm/cli/issues/3284 - There is a lot of other issues on this. Before this, whe had multiples other issues with npm (thats may be still live): - npm is not extensible enough and require a lot of workarounds to be used in safely CI. - There are bugs thats are not fixed for 2 years that make npm ci not working. (https://github.com/npm/cli/issues/289 https://github.com/npm/cli/issues/289) - All bug reports have been closed after a new version release because they have no idea if they fixed a bug or not.
