Getting into rust is still on my to-do list, otherwise I've no major problem with pip or npm. They both have their flaws, but both work well enough to do what I need them for. If I had to prefer one it would be pip simply to sustain my passionate hate for all things JavaScript.

Yep, exactly that. I remember some time ago the official python body (whatever it is) was recommending one tool for python version management and another one of virtual env management or something. Pretty much there were two competing tools and the official recommendation was to use one tool for X and the other tool for Y. It's a complete mess.
Pip has a good looking loading thingy though.
No one here has yet complained about Cocoapods and Carthage? I'm traumatized. Thank God for SwiftPM
The real worst package manager is maven or gradle
NuGet (for C# / .NET) is far better than npm.
Fuck pip
all my homies use pdm
