I think OP's complaint is rather that using `uv` is leaky: now you need to learn all the underlying stuff AND uv as well.

The alternative, of course, is having Python natively support a combined tool. Which you can support while also not liking `uv` for the above reason.

I don't think that's true, most projects using uv don't rely on those tools at all, and you don't need to understand them. You just `uv sync` and do your work.

I'm just clarifying OP in response to parent comment that ignored the most important parts of OP's message. Your comment also seems to ignore the meat of OP's complaint. But maybe I'm interpreting OP's comment as "my use cases for these tools are complicated" because I, too, have complicated Python builds with exotic compiled dependencies.
