I wouldn't use debug or ansi-styles. They're not even remotely close to being worth adding a dependency. Obviously none of them are trustworthy now though.

I wouldn’t even use chalk. Altering terminal output is easy. But it should be used sparingly.

You're right. I only looked at the source for debug and ansi-styles. After looking at chalk it's insanity to add that as a dependency as well.

And yet it has 300M weekly downloads. I am fairly sure that most of these are not because it is a direct dependency of people's projects, but rather it is a dependency of a dependency of a dependency.

		I think expo and eas-cli (the expo build service) is using chalk. Never understood what those cli need colors for what can be easily done with proper spacing and some symbols.
