My preference would be that pip install only has one mode. Realistically, there is going to be backwards compatibility stuff, but ideally, even in advanced use you should never have a reason to use anything other than pip install, and the rest should be specified in config files.
When I say "beginner" I mean someone who is learning their first programming language and may have never opened Terminal or `cmd.exe` before.

I thought the argument above was that the command should be `pip install`. This is confusing.

Ok, in that case, why do you care whether `pip install` has an implicit default mode?
