I think my experience with Python has been a lot worse than OP's. Random Python projects on GitHub always lacked polish and documentation. If anything my enjoyment of Python has skyrocket with uv, because I don't need to spend an hour guessing which Python 3.x version is compatible with your library.

Of all the advantages uv has, I can't fathom how it's determining version compatibility other than by reading standard metadata files that pip perfectly well understands.
