> Use pip install in user mode

This is a great recipe for disaster. Whatever you install in user mode will shadow anything installed system-wide, so when you try to run some system-wide project, it may now fail. I'm also not a fan of how it drops scripts into `./.local/bin`, since that's where I keep my own script, and is version controlled.

The installation will also be frozen and never get updated -- unless you remember to do it manually.

Finally, and worst of all, this leaves you in a dead end if your packages have conflicting dependencies, which is too often the case in Python-land.
