Pros
- • Opinionated end-to-end workflow (init → add → lock → build → publish)
- • Rich plugin ecosystem and strong community adoption
- • Built-in build/publish commands for PyPI flows
Cons
- • Slower resolves/installs than newer Rust-based tools
- • More concepts to learn (environments, groups, plugins)
- • Can feel heavy for very small scripts or quick experiments
