hands down the best way to manage python and its packages.
Agreed, especially on Windows.
It just works.
This is pushing it. It's not hard to break conda or put yourself in situation where the updater/dependency checker gets stuck and doesn't know what to do, especially once you start adding conda-forge packages. But it does do a better job than anything else I've tried (although poetry + pyenv on Linux is getting much better)
