I got introduced to pip and virtualenv when I started coding in python in 2013-14. Except for the system/3rd party python and python2/python3 confusion a couple of times, I've been able to set up many projects at multiple companies that quite a few people have worked on over the years without any problem just using pip and virtualenv. Somehow every time I searched about a better way of doing it, the new tools looked more confusing that the existing one. And since the existing ones keep working very well, I haven't had any incentive to move to any other tool that does even more magic under the wraps, in the name of making things simpler, because when the required conditions aren't met, these tools simply tend to give up. So I just setup the virtualenv with the appropriate python version and then use pip to install python dependancies. Projects have varied from webservers to computer vision and forecasting. And have not faced any issue till date.
