> pnpm tries to be a drop-in replacement for npm True > and dedupes automatically Also true. But the way you put them after each other, makes it sound like npm does de-duplication, and since pnpm tries to be a drop-in replacement for npm, so does pnpm. So for clarification: npm doesn't do de-duplication across all your projects, and that in particular was of the more useful features that pnpm brought to the ecosystem when it first arrived.
