How to help people migrating from pip to conda?

(conda and other system package managers are all interchangeable here. Nobody expects apt/yum to install packages that will Just Work into your highly customised venv, right?)

I thought a distinction was made earlier in the other discussion between conda and other package managers, e.g.

@teoliphant

The problem is that there is a space for a user-level, cross-language package manager like conda and there always will be.

Or as @pitrou described it, an “end-user package manager”:

@pitrou

I’m not sure if there’s a catchy phrase to describe Conda, but perhaps it’s an end-user package manager. You don’t need to be a systems administrator (and you don’t risk hosing your system), and you don’t need to be a developer / integrator either.
