I stopped worrying about what PyPA said when they endorsed Pipenv above other options, largely due to what seemed to me to be personal relationship reasons. Pipenv was disastrous at that time. It meant well, but at work we found ourselves waiting an hour for it to update its lockfile, and we had a relatively small number of widely-used dependencies in each repo. It just didn't work. As a practical matter, I hugely appreciate the hard technical work PyPA does. However, I don't concern myself much with which toolsets they're recommending at the moment. Use what the community uses and don't worry about the "official" suggestions.
