I started using poetry for my OSS projects and I'm happy with it, but I'd never use it for closed source projects. Poetry simplifies deps, config, pkg build etc as it's stored in a single place, but it's way to opinionated. For managing dependencies only, pip tools is easier to use and customize. There's no breaking changes, it's a finished product.
Also, I don't want my CI to fail randomly.

Look at the number of issues in poetry. Some things are not backwards compat, some are broken. If you want reliable, KISS with pip tools.
That's my opinion.
- plonk 4y agoAgreed. We tried using poetry in a monorepo that contains dozens of projects and it seemed annoying to get right. Poetry seems to want only one main project folder?
