“A year of uv: pros, cons, and should you migrate”

https://www.bitecode.dev/p/a-year-of-uv-pros-cons-and-should

I've also been using uv lately, I agree it is a pleasure to use. I still have many projects and other setups that rely on “pyenv”, “pipx”, “poetry”, “pip-tools”, etc.

I was comfortable with my setup, and it served my purposes well, but I've to admit that uv is very appealing.

Nevertheless, it will take time to migrate them all (if I decide to go in that direction).
