In the context of what we're talking about here, using the default package manger to install a different package manger as a dependency has never quite sat right with me.

And npm workspaces is certainly "lacking features" compared to NX, but in terms of making `npm link` for local packages easier and running scripts across packages it does fine.

Yes, I've found the experience of getting pnpm quite irritating/confusing. Corepack doesn't seem to work the way I would want it to, either.
