It just shows that Python is used for a lot of purposes and there is no single tool that handles all usecases.

And when you'll get to the point where you need to work with different node projects, you will also need several tools to manage node versions and different environments, so that doesn't help at all.

The thing is, if I need to switch node versions. I can use nvm. The thing is, I don't need to manage different environments in node because the dependencies are contained in "node_modules" and not "attached" to a Python interpreter instance.
