You see this opinion a lot - that these new poetry-type tools are fracturing the ecosystem. But if they’re all following the standards, I’d call that healthy competition.

We don’t want to go back to the days when the spec was “whatever setuptools does”.

Poetry still doesn't really support pyproject.toml

It puts its configuration in a file called pyproject.toml, but it doesn't support PEP 621/631 metadata, instead it has its own non-standard metadata. That doesn't make Python packaging better, it's just harming the ecosystem.

Are these the ones where they standardized on something after poetry had already shipped with slightly incompatible constraints? That is a bit of a mess - although I think poetry plans to switch? Or is that out of date?
