I wish this were true, I really do, but it's just not true. Maybe for python-only packages. But, for the myriad of python extensions necessary for Scientific Computing with Python, pip and virtualenv are not enough. We think conda is a useful tool, and have freed it for use by everyone. Perhaps something like pip + a better virtualenv + wheel would be close, but we needed something that works now.
