For me personally, I prefer conda because it is dependency resolution (mamba), virtual environments, and a package repository (conda-forge) all from one base miniconda installation. And for all of my use cases, all of those just work. Dependency solving used to be painfully slow, mamba solved that. Packages used to be way behind the latest, setting conda-forge as my default solved that.

After fiddling with different solutions for years and having to start fresh with a new Python install, I've been using nothing by miniconda for years and it just works
