They've pretty much always been a moving target, haven't they? Nothing has ever been good enough that the community agrees "okay, this is it, we can stop churning on this tooling for a while".
- zelphirkalt 6y agoProbably because the typical culprits are really not good enough. I mean, follow the package manager repos on Github (pipenv for example) for a while. They have loads of issues, which one would think are unthinkable for a package manager to have. There are regressions and sometimes environments that were created just fine in an older version, is not creatable any longer, even though all the specification is, is a bunch of package names and version numbers, which do actually exist. Probably testing package managers is not a simple thing to do.
