pipx is just displacing problems:

- you have to install pipx and they recommand to install it... with pip. Back to all the same problems.

- pipx implicitly use a python version underneath. For things like mypy or black, you get stuck to the syntax of this version, and you'll get errors a lot of users can't solve

- pipx is not stable enough, it just fails sometimes

- people have to know about a third party tool

- it adds to the paradox of choice

- pipx PATH injection is hit or miss

I should have listed pipx in the article, it's not a solution, it's a crutch.
