Hard agree with this article. I love uv for so many things, but updating dependencies to latest versions that are compatible with everything else in the project is so much more painful in uv than in poetry. The fact that half the functionality is hidden behind `uv pip ...` or is incredibly odd as these days most people would never otherwise need `uv pip` at all.
Possibly the most frustrating hidden command is `uv pip show {package}` - a) why is it hidden inside the pip subcommand, and b) why is it missing the package's homepage that you get from `pip show {package}`? Given that actually upgrading stuff with `uv` often means going off and finding version numbers yourself, removing the homepage URL from the show output just feels spiteful.
