uv seems to be a pet peeve of HN. I always thought pipenv was good but yeah, seems like I was being ignorant

Unless I've been seeing very different submissions than you, "pet peeve" seems like the exact opposite of what is actually the case?

My biggest complaint with pipenv is/was(?) that it's lockfile format only kept the platform identifiers of the platform you locked it on - so if you created it on Mac, then tried to install from the lockfile on a Linux box, you're building from source because it's only locked in wheels for MacOS.

Poetry and uv avoid this issue.

I too use pipenv unless there's a reason not to. I hope people use whatever works best for them.

I feel that sometimes there's a desire on the part of those who use tool X that everyone should use tool X. For some types of technology (car seat belts, antibiotics...) that might be reasonable but otherwise it seems more like a desire for validation of the advocate's own choice.
