Same here. Right now my whole “Nx experience” feels like product owners went all crazy with plugins, “build anything” capabilities, and left behind the simplicity and truly greatness of nx: its tools for managing development directories.

We are running into this same issue with nanoid 4.0 and other ESM only libraries. This is a major blocker for us!
