I was happy when yarn first came onto the scene and gave npm the kick in the butt it needed to improve.

Now I wish yarn could be deprecated and we could go back to a single package manager. There's unfortunately segmentation in different areas around package managers, e.g. electron seems to prefer yarn. And for package maintainers there's extra overhead to document and test installation with both npm and yarn.

I hear you, but things are not really moving in that direction, because it's not that simple. The closer you look into what they do and how, the clearer it becomes that [npm7 vs yarn1 vs yarn2 vs pnpm] is the current set of legit choices, for various reasons.
