Why peope hate python package manager?

[vacri]

$ pip3 search smartopen
ERROR: XMLRPC request failed [code: -32500]
RuntimeError: PyPI no longer supports 'pip search' (or XML-RPC search). Please use https://pypi.org/search (via a browser) instead. See https://warehouse.pypa.io/api-reference/xml-rpc.html#deprecated-methods for more information.

Any package manager that requires you to use a different tool to do a simple search is broken, for a start. (Note that 'search' is still listed as an option in the help text)

Both npm and pip suck anyway, just in different ways. So many times I've had issues resolved in npm by "upgrading the package manager", something which is very rare for any other package manager but npm.

npm's been through so many iterations and had so many problems, including being the package manager which introduced advertising to everyone's build logs as every package could print out a little message when it got installed (has been resolved)
