"one of the best package manager i have ever used !"
What do you like best about Yarn?

Yarn CLI is also fantastic, with simple commands that are easy to remember. Yarn is the most convenient package management in projects, and I believe that security has really improved with version 6! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Yarn?

There is nothing special to hate, however, the installation pace seemed to be a little slow, and the yarn outdated command took a long time to execute, but everything is fine! as well as yarn performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Awesome package management"
What do you like best about Yarn?

I guess it's the ease of use, great for mono repos, and easy to install. I also think that the icons are beautiful when installing packages. My whole experience with yarn has been great. To mention other things about yarn, I must say that it installs packages fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Yarn?

I don't see any downfalls as of now, recommended over npm. Although in one monorepo I had worked on, the project kind of broke, and I had to install the packages and reinstall in over 7 web apps which took a pretty long time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Why Migrate to Yarn"
What do you like best about Yarn?

The main reasons that one should migrate to Yarn are:

It is more Stable than NPM.

It can install packages from the local cache, so we don’t have to rely on active internet connection.

It strongly binds package versions.

It allows parallel packages installation.

Yarn installs the packages simultaneously, and that is why Yarn is faster than NPM.. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Yarn?

The only problem that I encountered was that Yarn doesn’t work with any node.js version older than 5 but that’s alright, I would still prefer Yarn as it has active user community & is easy to use.. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to add ,update and remove dependencies and adding of custom fields in our dependencies."
What do you like best about Yarn?

yarn.lock is the best feature of yarn .

Since it automatically updates the version numbers . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Yarn?

Its structure is similar to npm. it's difficult to manage when both npm and yarn are being used .

Since generally npm is already installed with node.js why would I shift from npm to yarn . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy usage, perfect documentation, retrieving all the dependencies without any issues, running tests is easy, using it with linter, haven't had any problems with it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Yarn is better than old native npm. Moreover it gives you better control over your dependencies."
What do you like best about Yarn?

It works in offline mode. And caches your once loaded dependencies.

yarn.lock file keeps development stable across different development systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Yarn?

I have nothing to dislike yarn. But can be improved by creating a yarn package client or a desktop software where user can manage all its dependencies instead of doing it in cli. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
