Why not provide an option to prefer relative imports instead of enforcing them? At our company, we standardize all projects to use absolute imports via the import map, and now that the LSP defaults to relative imports, we’re having to manually change many import lines back to absolute ones — which is both tedious and error-prone.

This behavior changed from how it previously worked, and it’s now affecting our workflow significantly. I don’t believe it was a fair change without at least offering configurability. I opened an issue about this #29464.
