I got excited about poetry a few years back because it seemed that the community might be finally able to rally around _one_ packaging solution. My favorite thing about Go is that there isn't a shiny new packaging tool every year.. just go.mod. uv definitely looks cool and the performance is very impressive.. but should I switch all my projects over? Are you going to be around in 5 years time?

It takes 5 minutes to switch most projects. And less to go back to pip. Seems silly to waste a bunch of wall time when using pip when there is a super easy alternative that doesn't have high switching costs.

Just try it. The hype is real. I stopped using pyenv, pyenv-virtualenv, poetry, and native pip because uv is just that sticky.

Just install it and try running something using the —-with flag. That’s where I became intrigued.

Ok but that's really not the cost for a company that's been using tool X for years, accumulated some expertise in that, built their own tooling on top of it etc.
