pip is really bad though so UV has a long ways to fall before you aren't still net better off :^)

Very clearly a better option than continuing to use Pip. Even if they do change the license in a few years I will definitely take several years of not being shat on by Pip over the comparatively minor inconvenience of having to switch to an open fork of uv when they rug-pull. If they ever do.

Continuing to use Pip because Astral might stop maintaining uv in future is stupidly masochistic.
