Is uv better than micromamba? I tried using uv once and got some big ugly error I don't remember, and that was the end of that, whereas mm just worked (perhaps due to my familiarity). It was a project with the usual situation, i.e., torch, numpy, cuda support, nvcc, all had to play nicely together and satisfy requirements.txt.
It just hit its 12 month birthday a few days ago and has evolved a LOT on those past 12 months. One of the problems I ran into with it was patched out within days of me first hitting it. https://simonwillison.net/2024/Nov/8/uv/
Just a few weeks ago. Sadly I can't remember the specifics but meta-management toolchains are always a hard sell if what you currently have works and is Good Enough. mm is quite fast compared to anaconda, though not perfect. Maybe I'd also benefit from uv having an environment import feature, since I have like 30 *conda environments by now.
I used uv for the first time a few months ago and it was a total revelation (previously I used venv and pip). I would be happy if pip itself and conda went away (although that won't happen).
