> unambiguous failure of pipfile/pipenv and similar approaches. How have those approaches failed?

  Here is but one discussion out of the numerous discussions refuting pipenv, - https://chriswarrick.com/blog/2018/07/17/pipenv-promises-a-lot-delivers-very-little/ https://chriswarrick.com/blog/2018/07/17/pipenv-promises-a-l...

    "I haven’t tried it, but I consider Conda/Anaconda unnecessary for most use-cases. Most stuff that used to be difficult to compile/install should now be available as PyPI wheels for multiple platforms." https://chriswarrick.com/blog/2018/07/17/pipenv-promises-a-lot-delivers-very-little/#isso-178 https://chriswarrick.com/blog/2018/07/17/pipenv-promises-a-l... That is the author of that blog post, replying to a comment there.

      So the author, who hasn’t tried conda, dismisses it. What is your point? How does this relate to the criticisms of pipenv?

    So what about the "and similar approaches" part of your comment? The author seems to have only minor issues with Poetry (for example) and I agree with him, it fixes or provides simple workarounds for all the major pain points of Pipenv as far as I can tell.
