Tell me about it... I recently just had the fun of playing with an angular 8 project and thats 'only' 2019. Luckily in that case it was just turning on flags for node to act in an older deprecated way.

For my older projects as long as I could get the right visual studio to install and run (VMs will fix any OS compat issues) I could compile the things out of the box. As we did not go external unless we absolutely had to. These newer central repository projects are not going to end well.
