Just a few months back I said I would never use uv. I was already used to venv and pip. No need for another tool I thought.

I now use uv for everything Python. The reason for the switch was a shared server where I did not have root and there were all sorts of broken packages/drivers and I needed pytorch. Nothing was working and pip was taking ages. Each user had 10GB of storage allocated and pip's cache was taking up a ton of space & not letting me change the location properly. Switched to uv and everything just worked

If you're still holding out, really just spend 5 minutes trying it out, you won't regret it.

I wonder how it compares with something more green generalist like "mise", to which I migrated after using "ASDF" for some time.

I use both! uv installed globally with mise, and uv tools can then be managed via “miss use -g pipx:foo”.

Same! I recently set up some dev environments with mise. My old ones are still using poetry, the new ones have uv. uv is incredibly snappy. It's like night and day!
