What other tools do people do that for? Not many. I see the most similar language and behaviour with regards to uv, which similarly revolutionized/simplified python tooling.
Likewise mise, which makes it similarly frictionless to install and manage tooling and their versions across projects and system-wide.
The evangelizing for these things comes because these tools start to heal the trauma that came from immense friction. We want others to be similarly liberated.
For those who say "I don't feel friction/trauma with git, legacy Python tooling etc", I can only say that you're living in Plato's cave/the matrix/in a cult/with Stockholm syndrome and just don't know what you're missing out on.
