What Is The Advantage Of Pip Over Anaconda?

So, I have seen What is the difference between pip and conda?. However, all of the answers there appear to be from Anaconda supporters. So, that made me wonder: why is pip still th

Solution 1:

One huge advantage of pip is the built-in ability to install packages system-wide via f.ex.

sudo -H pip install ipython

It actually is smart enough to do this by default if run as the root user, installing to some directory in the global execution path. (/usr/local/bin?)

What can actually be considered an advantage for some things is that pip compiles packages (by default). So some packages like f.ex. theano which are actually optimized upon installation should not be installed via conda, or you are possibly missing out on this.

Finally, as mentioned, pip is directly linked to Python's package archive, whereas conda assumedly needs to be told when a new package was uploaded via a new configuation.
