* Having pip need to be installed into each Python means you end up with a bunch of independent pip installations which all need to be independently updated. We've made this better by having recent pips warn you if you're not on the latest version, but it's not unusual for me personally to have 30+ different installations of pip on my personal desktop. That isn't great.
For the record, it is possible to have just one pip accessed by multiple installed Pythons right now. Just add a .pth file to site-packages of each Python with an entry to the same shared directory. Install pip into one Python, then mv the pip and the accompanying dist-info folder to that shared directory. It's a bit of effort to set up the first time, but you'll only have one pip to update afterwards.
