PNPM isn't exactly new; it's been in development since 2016[0] (which makes it 9 years old).
I've been using it for quite a while now. It has excellent mono-repo features, pnpmfile.js hooks, and it's just downright faster than NPM. Way, way faster.
I switched to it a couple of years ago, and it was definitely a breath of fresh air: no more waiting for 5 minutes for dependencies to install! I still find this to be the case when the odd create-XXX-app script finds itself using NPM.

Pnpm ? Seems every week another flavour without any benefits.
