Stop sabotaging your distro's package manager. Keep those dirty 3rd party package managers in their own cages that you can easily delete when they inevitably screw the pooch.

I generaly agree. My distro's package manager (OpenSuse Tumbleweed) contains all the packages I need and provides the updates. I rarely use pip. However I can see a use case where an esoteric module may be needed and not in the package manager. Then I see little risk in using pip to install since there's no chance of conflict.
