  It's a good question, and to be honest, I occasionally get confused about what tools are installed with what tool manager (especially as there's also `uv tool` in the mix too). Devbox for me hasn't clicked as a project-level tool manager, mostly because it doesn't really play nicely with the way our projects are set up causing a lot of shell issues for other team members. Mise has been trouble free on that front though, works perfectly for everyone on the team, and has some nice runner type functionality too (like `just` or `make`). If you've not tried Mise, I recommend giving it a go, it's really nice.

    We recently switched to Mise, agreed it's been pain free. But in looking at options I was mulling over devbox so figured I'd ask. I did notice that devbox seems to be able to generate a file for direnv, maybe that would help?
