I wonder what it would take to get poetry on par with uv for those who are already switching to it?

Poetry and uv have quite different philosophy. Poetry is incredibly opinionated in how you should do things, and trying to make poetry fit an existing project or combining poetry with other tools is quite likely to break. Uv on the hand is far more flexible and easier to make work with your current workflow. For me that was the main reason I gave up poetry, and in that aspect poetry will probably never be 'on par' with uv since these aren't technical differences, but differences of philosophy.

Curious what you found too opinionated about Poetry (not saying it doesn't happen)

The way it assumes one and exactly one venv per project was a big one. The one that broke me however was trying to get it work with external build systems, specifically trying to compile C++ code as part of the build process. Another important one was that it doesn't play nicely with older code built on pip and pip based workflows. You basically have to start from scratch, while uv makes it much easier to slowly transition.
