>The only package manager you think is good is from the ecosystem Or maybe, the only package manager you think is good is the one that has features you value and doesn't fail in ways you wouldn't expect? For example, I have been trying to work with numpy and pandas a bit - two of the biggest Python libraries - and use them on my MacBook (itself a popular item). These installs fail, in the middle of an ungrokable stack of install logs. I have to shuffle thru useless messages to eventually track down the source, and then try to find a new compatible version. So sure, maybe there's native code in there, but I think claiming "useful summaries are not the package manager's job" is silly But I also have had other terrible experiences: packaging is a bit overwrought; the terrible import/export/module system in Python means your dependency names have nothing to do with where you import from; SSL Certificate errors crop up at random on domains with valid certificate. I am sure it's good enough to use, but I think it's a bit pie-in-the-sky to claim all package managers are good and you just have to be in the community. Shitty software exists
