### What we like

Replaces your Python toolchain - makes it easy to manage virtual environments, dependencies, Python versions, workspaces. Supports package version management and publishing workflows. Built-in build backend. Cached dependency deduplication. Very fast.

### Tradeoffs

Not quite at a stable release version yet, but is effectively stable.
