Yes, conda has a lot more features on paper. And it supports non-Python dependencies which is super important in some contexts.
However, after using conda for over three years I can confidently say I don't like using it. I find it to be slow and annoying, often creating more problems than it solves. Mamba is markedly better but still manages to confuse itself.
uv just works, if your desktop environment is relatively modern. that's its biggest selling point, and why I'm hooked on it.
