There has been a flurry of `uv` posts on HN recently. I don't have any experience with it, is it really the future, or is it a fad?

As Ive gotten older I've grown weary of third party tools, and almost always try to stick with the first party built in methods for a given task.

Does uv provide enough benefit to make me reconsider?

Yes, IMO it does. I wrote my first lines of Python 16 years ago and have worked with raw pip & venv, PDM and Poetry. None of those solutions come close to how easy it is to use (and migrate to) uv. Just give it a try for half an hour, you likely won't want to use anything else after that.
