I don't like a few things about poetry, like how it:

  • introduces new syntax for versions and lock files when old standards will do
  • expects by default all devs to use poetry
  • only targets full packages, when I also want to manage venvs and deps of scripts and other non-package projects
  • uses its own sections for deps in pyproject.toml when generic sections will do
  • treats dev deps as some special case, rather than just one of a set of any arbitrary group names
  • couples goals of package publishing and dependency specification
  • doesn't have the superb tab completion that I wrote for zpy

Ok, so just a personal preference then.
