What is wrong with requirements.txt seriously? I've used it in countless projects and it just works. It's also simple to understand.

  Installing from GitHub is a pain and if you upgrade packages and freeze into requirements.txt you can't tell which versions you've overwritten. You can easily stuff this up with a deploy script.

    The problem is that it can be used in both a deterministic and non-deterministic way (no version-specifiers specified, not all sub-dependencies listed). People want the best of both worlds. This facilitates that.

    But since you use one virtual env per project, you don't overwrite anything.
