I don't like this framing (sort of implies they aren't be honest) but regardless just switch if you're not happy with the release frequency and you have viable alternatives.

Why would someone choose to use a third party library when the first party solution[0] is more than adequate in the first place? [0] https://docs.python.org/3/library/venv.html

pipenv install --dev is one reason I guess and pipenv uninstall x gets rid of all the dependencies, that's nice to have

Especially if they haven't even said anything yet. A better suggestion would be "It's okay if you're not working on this, but let the community know." I have a feeling some use this for production grade work.

They don't do the same thing. pipenv allows you to create, manage virtual environments(using venv) apart from managing requirements file(Pipfile) and an npm like locking mechanism, dependency graphs, dev dependencies and more.

I prefer poetry though, since the consensus seems to be coming together on pyproject.toml rather than individual files like Pipfile. A lot of tools have already started supporting the toml file for their config, or have PRs pending.
