I fail to see the attraction of wheel, and the uptake since it was invented appears to be basically non-existent. Can someone seriously explain what the point of it is? As far as I can tell, it's: make life easier for windows python users (which I am one of, and I don't care about it at all; you need VS to build everything anyway; one or two wheel modules makes zero difference; it'll only make a difference when everything uses wheel, which will be never...).
