All the instructions for everyone now uses yarn though, so you are affected, just like everyone was affected with the bower switch, gulp switch, etc.
The churn in tooling is unavoidable even if you use slightly less fashionable frameworks.

I'm not claiming that all those transitions were for the best, far from it, but the real question for any language community to answer is: "how much churn is acceptable in the pursuit of better?" JS is an ongoing cultural experiment in seeing what happens when you turn that dial to 11.
And realistically speaking, yarn is not a discernable improvement over npm.
The cultural experiment has a huge cost to programmers and it's been an utter disaster. Even PHP has leapfrogged javascript.
