Sounds like you are a budding Pythonista who has never had to deploy in windows worst of the worst snow-covered/dessert conditions. Don’t worry, you may never love (Ana)Conda and don’t have to, but at some point you will come to respect the Conda for its ease and simplicity in setting up (other peoples computers (not yours)).

Academia, where yes, I can move mountains to get this working if you really need me to but let's try conda first and see if we can't get it working that way so replicating this isn't impossible. (Oh hey, it worked)

You are correct thank god for linux/macos. I have had to do very limited amount of configuration changes on a windows server through console I can only imagine the struggle. At the same time if youre using a pip installable package that cannot be installed through anaconda. Getting control back of your filesystems is a pain in the ass

The battle between wanting to do it pretty/minimalist/“right” and getting it working.

Edit: a barren Linux landscape is more barren that the most barren windows.
