We already have a recommendation for conda: "If you’re looking for management of fully integrated cross-platform software stacks". That's admittedly pretty abstract. I certainly see no harm in expanding this so that it does a better job of attracting users that would seriously benefit. Maybe even link to a section on "Conda Environments" on the Advanced page. I don't have a good sense for the scope of what's currently available in anaconda to know how many users it could help. I guess I'd have to see the wording and placement of the recommendation, to judge it fully. My concern is just to prevent a horde of users trying to use conda environments that don't really need it.
