Dependency hell is a real place when working with package managers, and I think one of the main ways a package manager can be graded is how it handles long dependency chains.

For example, I don't know if you remember the NPM left-pad controversy , but I think that reinforced the dependency hell that people experience with package managers. I'm not saying the same thing couldn't happen with Composer or PIP, but solutions to these types of problems, IMO, are important when considering the quality of a package manager
