> For what it's worth uv is fully compatible with pip

Depends what you mean by "fully": https://docs.astral.sh/uv/pip/compatibility/

There's a number of places pip and uv diverge:

* uv makes some design choices that aren't always strictly compatible with the spec

* uv correctly implements the spec and it turns out pip, or the underlying library, didn't (I have worked on fixing a couple of these on the pip side)

* uv doesn't support legacy features still in pip

* Tool specific features or exact output diverge

This is not a criticism, but I've seen some users get irate with uv because they were under the impression that it was making much stronger compatibility guarantees.
