Honestly - My non-polite, personal impression of all the complaints is that they're borne from a very specific development environment. One that includes lots of dependencies similar to "npm", wants "docker style" local development, and the devs seem to think dependency-management is hard and you need complicated "semantic" versioning and version operators... but really it's just because they're working in a complex ecosystem of microservices. But, for the other 99% projects though: Most of their dependencies won't break compatibility, you'll never uncover a hard version dependency that the package manager can't solve, you'll never need to "freeze" your dependency versions and you can pretty much just rely on a semi-persistent environment with all your necessary packages installed and semi-regularly updated. Essentially smooth-sailing.
