Agreed. My personal use case is as a general programmer (mostly sysadmin and automation type of work) with some strong interest in business data analysis and a side interest in stats. For that sort of scenario, some of the scipy stack (specifically matplotlib and pandas and their dependencies) is really useful. But conda is *not* what I'd use for day to day work, so being able to install via pip is important to me. It should be noted that installing via pip *is* possible - via some of the relevant projects having published wheels, and the rest being available via Christoph Gohlke's site either as wheels or as wininsts that I can convert. But that's not a seamless process, so it's not something I'd be too happy explaining to a colleague should I want to share the workload for that type of thing.
