I had the same experience. But you should try pixi, which is to conda what uv is to pip.

Isn't uv to conda what uv is to pip?

LarsDu88|1 year ago

`uv` is not a drop-in replacement for `conda` in the sense that `conda` also handles non-python dependencies, has its own distinct api server for packages, and has its own packaging yaml standard.

`pixi` basically covers `conda` while using the same solver as `uv` and is written in Rust like `uv`.

Now is it a good idea to have python's package management tool handle non-python packages? I think that's debateable. I personally am in favor of a world where `uv` is simply the final python package management solution.

Wrote an article on it here: https://dublog.net/blog/so-many-python-package-managers/
