Where's Anaconda at these days? I've not touched it since starting out with Python and don't think I've touched it since discovering other package managers.

Anyone here using it regularly in 2025, is there anything I'm missing out on?

Everywhere where they may be a shadow data science team. And that's how they get you. One has to be very careful to install the Open Source portions. They make no effort to make the boundary obvious. If one does not, IT will get a call asking for licensing money.

Wait, is this anaconda python, my favorite python installation? Oh no, it's now an AI company? Is my favorite python installation going to get enshittified?

That happened last year, when they changed their license terms and started shaking people down for money. I wouldn't touch it.
