In my experience (some time ago) doing so ended up with the "tangled mess of multiple systems" you mentioned. Conda can't uninstall something I installed with pip, and I have no obvious way of introspecting "which installer did I use to install X?" And if I pip uninstall something installed by conda, I break things. (Apologies if I misrepresent, it was a while ago, but I know I ended up deciding that I needed to keep a log of every package I installed and what I installed it with if I wanted to keep things straight...) Has that improved? I'm not trying to complain, I don't have any particular expectation that conda "has to" support using pip on a conda installation. But I do want to make sure we're clear on what works and what doesn't.
