I assume you are referring to the issues related to installation of external GUI frameworks in virtual environments mentioned here -- [https://matplotlib.org/faq/virtualenv_faq.html], I am afraid pipenv doesn't solve that any better than virtualenv’s --system-site-packages option -- [https://docs.pipenv.org/advanced/#working-with-platform-prov...].

If you are happy with your pip and venv workflow you can happily ignore pipenv, I personally prefer it because:

- It combines all the features of pip and venv with a better UI(in my opinion).

- I can specify my environments in more detail using Pipfile [https://docs.pipenv.org/advanced/#specifying-basically-anyth...]

- It is integrated with pyenv [https://docs.pipenv.org/advanced/#automatic-python-installat...]

- The promise of deterministic builds
