Right, and then there is an option in 50% of the cases to throw everything in package.json. As if it wasn't a hot mess already.

They should rework all these and at least make them sit in a ./config folder. It should be forbidden to throw everything into the root folder.

A lot of packages now use package.json as a way to retrieve configuration as well right? Like eslint can be configured in esconfig or package.json right
