I never heard of poetry before and normally use pipenv. The author states that poetry is more popular than pipenv, is that true? I did a quick comparison: https://github.com/sdispater/poetry https://github.com/sdispater/poetry watchers: 77 stars: 4,690 forks: 318 https://github.com/pypa/pipenv https://github.com/pypa/pipenv watchers: 348 stars: 17,207 forks: 1,268 I don't know if the authors statement 'Most people seem to prefer Poetry.' is true.

Anecdote, but everyone I personally know in the Python-sphere hates pipenv (and the creator) for various reasons. On another forums community I’m a member of the recommended tool for python packaging is poetry.

  You are right about the hates for pipenv, but I don't know that the creator hates it too. edit: sorry I misunderstood, the creator of pipenv doesn't hate pipenv

    I'm pretty sure pulsetile meant that people in the Python-sphere hate the creator of pipenv, not that the creator of pipenv hates pipenv.

    He meant that the creator is hated, not that creator hates the program.

I moved over to Poetry recently. Pipenv traded on Reitz's cache as the Reqeusts author and got a lot of adopters, perhaps a little before the software was ready for the primetime. I only tangentially keep my finger on the pulse of the Python community but it certainly appears that they're souring on him [0], [1]. I wouldn't say more popular, but it's certainly gaining traction in a relatively short time and I prefer it. I haven't used it in anger but it certainly seems faster that Pipenv.

I never met a single developer who loves pipenv, but everyone had a fatal problem with it at some point.
