been using conda for years with multiple projects each of which has numerous environments (for different versions). fairly large complex environments with coda, tf, jax, etc. has always worked well, and my biggest complaint - the sluggish resolver - largely addressed with mamba resolver. packages not available on conga-forge can be installed into the conda env pip. maybe I'm missing something but it's not clear to me what advantage uv would provide over conda.
- claytonjy 2y agoIt is very difficult for most conda users to maintain conda environments. They use the same env for nearly all their work, don’t understand the hierarchical nature of conda envs, don’t know which one they’re installing into, install stuff with pip without recording it in their env file, etc. The worst local environment messes i’ve ever seen always involve conda. It can be used effectively, but does not make it easy to do so. uv makes itself harder to misuse
