I'm curious, people who use conda, what's your reason for doing so? When I started using Python I used conda because people told me I would have a really hard time managing packages if I didn't. I used it for quite some time, but kept running into issues. For instance, new versions of packages would be released and it would be forever until they were available in conda. And it seemed every month or two conda itself would have some issue that I'd have to spend a while troubleshooting.<p>Then I discovered pyenv + virtualenv. I can't think of a single issue over the last 18 months. I can easily run any version of Python, virtual environments are way easier to deal with, and PIP has been so much better than conda for packages.<p>Is there something else I'm missing about conda? Or was conda something that was needed and great several years ago, but not so much these days?<p>I'd also love to hear if there's something better than pyenv + virtualenv I should look into.
