I had a bad experience with Conda: - If they're so good at dependency management, why is Conda installed through a magical shell script? - It's slow as molass

  I absolutely hate conda. I had to support a bunch of researchers who all used it and it was a nightmare.

  Mamba/micromamba solves the slowness problem of conda

    To add. Conda has parallelized downloads and is faster. Not as fast as mamba, but faster than previously. pr merged sep 2022 -> https://github.com/conda/conda/pull/11841 https://github.com/conda/conda/pull/11841

  Yeah, I agree, maybe I should have also mentioned the bad things about it, but after trying many different tools that's the one that I stuck with, as creating/destroying environments is a breeze once you got it working and the only time my environment broke was when I used pip in that environment. > The Python people probably can't even imagine how great dependency management is in all the other languages... Yep, I wish I could use another language at work. > Choosing between Anaconda/Miniconda... I went straight with mamba/micromamba as anaconda isn't open source.

  rye and uv, while "experimental", are orders of magnitude better than poetry and pip IMHO.
