@DetachHead : yeah, I agree that’s not so easy to understand and we need to explain the packages better. But at least they are not random: basically we have two dimension where we need to provide something different:

for OpenUI5 we need to provide a reduced package compared to SAPUI5 because it has less controls
the old packages supported using global objects like “sap”, while in the future we want to encourage using ES modules to load dependencies. For certain stakeholders (WebIDE) we still need to provide the old packages, though.

Those two dimensions are multiplied out, so we get four packages - the ones with ts-types in their name. Two for OpenUI5, two for SAPUI5. Two for globals, two for ES modules (those ending with -esm). We cannot drop any of them, but I’ll see how and where we can document them better and we should also make clearer that the non-esm ones are… less supported.

Then, we also have one more package: @types/openui5. The content equals @openui5/ts-types-esm, but the consumption is easier because TypeScript automatically finds packages in the @types namespace.

Wasn’t tracked, Peter wanted to take care of it. I opened https://github.com/SAP/ui5-typescript/issues/320 for it.
