> Is there a reason to look at poetry if you've got the pip/virtualenv combination working fine?

You probably have a bunch of scripts that do what poetry does (either that, or you repeat the same commands over and over A LOT).

Switching to poetry might have some initial overhead, but a big upside is that you stop using custom, internal tooling, and use something industry-standard. Importantly, it makes it easier for you to understand external projects (since you're familiar with the standard tooling), and faster to onboard newcomers.
