Let's know how it works for you and how we could improve it 馃憢

I don鈥檛 understand ergonomics (install size, dependencies, vulnerabilities, type support).

check quadrant graphs here, and find hidden gems by playing with other set of packages

it seems the most important thing in this graph is install size on disk (any package that happens to bring along some cli tools who they themselves have some tech debt really tanks the ranking here) :(
