I seriously still don't know why I should use "uv". I just create my .venv and pip install.
Rarely I'd need a different version of python, in case I do, either I let the IDE to take care of it or just do pyenv.
I know there's the argument of being fast with uv, but most of the time, the actual downloading is the slowest part.
I'm not sure how big a project should be, before I feel pip is slow for me.
Currently, I have a project with around 50 direct dependencies and everything is installed in less than a min with a fresh venv and without pip cache.
Also, if I ever, ever needed lock files stuff, I use pipx. Never needed the hash of the packages the way it's done in package-lock.json.
Maybe, I'm just not the target audience of uv.
