I enjoy using uv a lot but am getting afraid that it is getting bloated for no reason. For ex., the number of niche flags that a lot of subcommands support is very high + some of them seemingly achieve the same result(uv run --no-project and uv run --active). I'd rather them working on improving existing tools and documentation than adding new (redundant) functionality

I don’t understand why adding a subcommand to uv is being considered bloat.

uv is already a complex tool, but it has excellent documentation. Adding a straightforward, self-explanatory subcommand like this doesn’t seem out of place.

It's simple:

- Everything I use and I see: good

- Everything I don't use and I see: bloat

- Everything I use and I don't see: good

- Everything I think I don't use and I don't see: Java
