I'm switching to Python and actually liking it
I resisted pipx, poetry, anaconda and probably some other things, as I didn't see the point over venv+pip. But uv is just so damn good, there's no going back.

Feel like pipx walked so uv could run, it popularized the idea of abstracting the environment management away from the user.

pipx is still the best tool for standalone utility type of packages: "yt-dlp", "glances" (like htop), etc.

You can, however, use uv for this, e.g., `uvx yt-dlp` works like it would in pipx.

pipdeptree is all you need for many things, but uv is such a joy to use it's hard to resist, sure.
