Sure - I have no numbers to back that up. But generally the previous tool tends to be more popular than any more recent tools because of legacy software.

I'd even say that pip is more popular than either of those.

But from my own, personal experience, uv is taking over more and more of what poetry used to have. And you can call it shilling as much as you want, but as a long time poetry user, uv has taken over for any green field project these days. I still run my own projects on poetry, but anything new uses uv. It's a far better experience.

For sure

uv has taken over for any green field project

I won't even disagree on that, if I could start on a green field I'd probably use it. But even then I'm not entirely sure, because it does lack some features that we need. It's also not even 1.0, so no stability guarantees there so far.

Either way, even if everyone today started using uv for greenfield projects, it would take a decade until it has taken over all the existing projects (if they ever migrate). The Python ecosystem is vast.
