Those are all bleeding edge developer best practices that didn't exist five years ago. Folks coming from matlab (an example I read above,) probably aren't in the industry and many likely don't even know docker exists OR why they would want to use it.

requirements.txt is NOT bleeding edge.

And the GP was saying that the ruby package manager is more magical then the python package manager... when pip solved all of the complaints mentioned.

Odd.
