Switching to PNPM has a couple of advantages. The first is speed: pnpm install is typically faster than npm install, though how much will depend heavily the speed of your Internet connection. The second is disk usage: if you have multiple copies of the Language Forge repository on your disk, perhaps because you want to keep a copy of develop running while you work on a different branch in another folder, PNPM will de-duplicate the packages whose versions are the same between the copies (which will be 100% of them unless you're fiddling with package.json in your branch).
