That's about as long as I've been using conda. But I avoid it whenever I can because of a variety of gripes. The two biggest are the following:
1. On Lustre file systems, 'Solving environment...' can take minutes. I don't like waiting minutes to provide permission to install packages.
2. A lot of conda packages are broken. It's managed by maintainers, and unfortunately, some people maintaining believe that if it works on their machine, it will work elsewhere. Since I'm tired of ABI and runtime linking errors, I often just install from source.
- beagle3 8y agoconda doesn't require you to use conda packages; pip installs are perfectly integrated. w.r.t lustre - can't comment about that; I prefer local file systems for development for various reasons (most importantly: mmaping huge local files is 10x to 100x more efficient than through networked filing systems).
