Sorry Python but it is what it is.

    I use pip extensively and have zero issues.

    npm pulls in a million dependencies for even the simplest functionality.

      It probably works for your own local project. After using it for couple of days to install some 3rd party tool my conclusion is that it has no idea about dependencies. It just downloads some dependencies in some random versions and than it never works. Completely useless.

      You’ve never had broken dependencies?

        Nope. I know mixing pip with python packages installed through your systems package manager can be a problem but that’s why I containerize everything.

          I separate everything in virtual environments myself, but in my opinion you shouldn’t need to that to simply avoid breaking your system.
