There are some issues with it, but think more about it's concepts. I agree at the very least that npm is better than pip, but I feel like pip is really outdated. I'm surprised so many people who are saying it's fine and that setup.py is fine... I think it's just they're more familiar with it. Check out yarn as well, some of it's practices are really awesome - getting inspiration from bundler and cargo. This is as someone who doesn't use either of these languages that much. Even composer is better than pip IMO.
