It also has catalogs feature for defining versions or version ranges as reusable constants that you can reference in workspace packages. It was almost the only reason (besides speed) I switched a year ago from npm and never looked back.
‘pnpm’ is great, swapped to it a year ago after yarn 1->4 looked like a new project every version and npm had an insane dependency resolution issue for platform specific packages
pnpm had good docs and was easy to put in place. Recommend
A few years ago it didn't work in all cases when npm did. It made me stop using it because I didn't want to constantly check with two tools. The speed boost is nice but I don't need to npm install that often.
