But that doesn't give (Windows, mainly) users a solution for things that need a C compiler, but aren't provided as conda packages. My honest view is that unless conda is intending to replace pip and wheel totally, you cannot assume that people will be happy to use conda alongside pip (or indeed, use any pair of independent packaging tools together - people typically want one unified solution). And if the scientific community stops working towards providing wheels for people without compilers "because you can use conda", there is going to be a proportion of the Python community that will lose out on some great tools as a result.
