I have cordova 8.0.0 and I'm using cordova-android 7.1.
Everytime I run a command like
cordova plugin remove ...
# or
cordova plugin add ...
The commands take 8+ minutes to end. I checked my network stats and I saw that node is downloading loads of things the whole time. Seems like it's fetching every plugin at every command.
Why is cordova doing that? It's slowing so much my development...

Removing plugins 'cordova plugin remove cordova-plugin-console --save' => Removes the console plugin from the project and deletes its entry from config. xml.
Plugins are installed as npm or yarn package in Capacitor. Hence, to remove them, You will have to remove the package from package. json and also remove it from node_modules using npm uninstall <packageName>
So, I don't know why but I had some dependencies issues. The next time I ran npm i ... for another package, it took loads of time (as long as after every cordova command), and I got a message saying than more than one package has been updated.
Then the next cordova commands ran really faster.
So it seems that if you have some uninstalled npm packages in your package.json file, cordova 8.0.0 is downloading them at every command...
