I was just getting used to pipenv and pyenv combo.

Is this worth switching to?

I would also say absolutely. We've been using pipenv for ~6 years and have managed to build a pretty good workflow around it. But uv is just _so much faster_. So we've started moving everything over to uv and I don't think we'll ever look back.

Migrating is not super hard, we wrote a small script that moves all the information from a Pipfile to a pyproject.toml and it works like a charm.

I've been using a combination of pyenv, venv and Poetry in the past.

Now I have switched to uv with new projects. No problems so far. I definitely recommend giving it a go.

Absolutely. No second thoughts.
Absolutely. It changed my Python developer life \o/
yes, 100%. it's not only faster, but it makes sense.
