As a fellow rubyist in python land, I’m also a fan of Pipenv because it uses a model I understand very well - that of Bundler (and similar to that of Cargo and Yarn). I do have some technical issues with it, like the strange hiding of the virtualenv in a random-like location instead of .venv by default, but overall it’s a large improvement over requirements.txt/setup.py/frozen_requirements.txt and even the new toml thing.
Maybe there is some inside baseball going on here when it comes to python foundation etc, but as an outsider looking in the vitriol seems totally unnecessary. I wouldn’t develop Python software w/o Pipenv.
