I used to install Python through mise but now I just use uv tbh.

Similar. But we get other benefits through mise, like tasks and other tool installs (e.g. Terraform). So we still use them together.

That's fair, it's also nice if you have a backend in Python and a frontend in JS since mise also handles node.

Forgot about that! Yes, another significant benefit of why we use mise.

In particular, we use flask-vite and it's so nice to be able to have the right version of Node specified in the same management system as we specify the Python version. This solved a not insignificant amount of angst around FE development for me personally since I spend most of my time in the BE.

It's not like it was insurmountable before. But now, with mise, it's in that "just works" category for me.

100% agreed, it just takes a task that was a 10-15min setup depending on your environment and personal knowledge to a 2min thing. It just makes life easier and it puts the bar for starting lower, a win in my book =)
