I guess that the same countable numbers we can see in  "they get it all
from a distro". 

If I may, I would suggest that being a bit more consistent in your
critics would benefit your position.

I was giving a talk at pycon.fr last week, and spend the 3 days
discussing with people. Most people I discussed with ( coders and
sysadmins alike ) were fully ok with using pip install, much to my
dismay as a Fedora member. 

And those are people that write free softwares, people who contribute to
the whole ecosystem, and people we want to help to write more free
software. 

maybe you think they do not matters and we shouldn't care and only focus
on your usecase, but I would disrespectfully disagree, despites the
energy you spent on this thread trying to restlessly convince people.
