Personally I don't really care about the faux drama.
I'm glad I can use direct url imports in simple Deno scripts.
I also see the need for import maps for larger projects.
I do think node_modules is an abomination and glad I don't have to deal with them anymore.
I prefer writing everything that works in Deno and the browser, not Node specific APIs.
I like the tech, I don't really care about the drama, and I doubt the Ryan does either lol.
