> Are there really enough benefits from uv to justify it as the only option?

The author probably really likes uv, thus the biased instructions.

I also think uv is great, but I wouldn't mention it in the user facing installation instructions. People are used to pip/pipx, thus asking them to install yet another tool might drive potential users away.

The usual pip or pipx command should work fine. It's listed on PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/Bagels

I would only mention uv in the Development Setup section (https://github.com/EnhancedJax/Bagels?tab=readme-ov-file#dev...)
