ESM is the biggest waste of time in the JS ecosystem. People are trying to move thing to ESM before it's even in a stable enough state. Mixing ESM and commonjs is a PITA. I've been a JS-mostly dev since 2013, and I've had enough of ESM ideologues.
See https://github.com/sindresorhus/meta/discussions/15 https://github.com/sindresorhus/meta/discussions/15 for just ONE example of this mess.
I don't know why it's become this ideological war where people are 'testing the waters' on production-used libraries. It's not the approach I would have taken.
ESM _is_ the future, but not the present, and I wish people would stop foisting it on packages before its ready.
