Last time I checked "pip in a conda env" was also pretty well behaved, so conda seems to be settling in fairly well to being a per-user cross platform alternative to apt, yum/dnf, homebrew, nix, etc, rather than tackling the same Python specific niche as pip & virtualenv.

Given the PyPA panel at PyCon US a few years ago ended up being subtitled "'./setup.py install' must die", I'd be surprised if that provoked a riot. I guess even if it does, you'll have plenty of folks prepared to help with crowd control :)
