As with all experimental things, a few things are missing. Some of these might lead to people using dotenv until support for these gets added. I will mention them here and let you see if they are dealbreakers. You can also follow the GitHub issue to track missing feature support.
Node does not support variable expansion currently. It will output the variable as a string if trying to reference another variable using $variable. This is possible in dotenv using the dotenv-expand library.
dotenv-vault is another popular package that lets you encrypt your secret and decrypt the file just in time. They are quite helpful for production and CIT environments but are not supported currently.
