It really is!

I switched to using uv just 2 weeks ago. Previously I had been dealing with maintaining a ton of batch jobs that used: global packages (yes, sudo pip install), manually managed virtualenvs, and docker containers.

uv beats all of them easily. Automatically handling the virtualenv means running a project that uses uv feels as easy as invoking the system Python is.

I just wish uv made it more straightforward to have arbitrary purpose-specific virtual environments, e.g. for building the package, for running the test suite, for dev tooling (PuDB ), etc. That's one thing pixi does better, I think.
