I'll confess to using `uv` almost every day for the last year+ - and I've never used anything other than `uv pip install` for package management. Is there any compelling reason not…

It's a solid question - and to some degree what https://programbench.com/ tries to measure. Some of the issues (off the top of my head): - Note - that my "product" was about 3,000 …
