After a quick look at conda, one major difference is that its focus is
really on binary packages. It might not be easy to support the Sage
"build
from source" model in conda.
This change in focus could be a big plus.
We really should not change this focus, Sage should always support
building from source. Reasons:
1) easily allow development on Sage packages
2) performance (binaries don't know which SSE/AVX instructions your
processor has)
3) portability (with binaries, you are always limited to the platforms
that you built binaries for)
conda is married to the x86(_64) architecture. No support for power for
you.
There is probably no reason why it is so apart from it being the
dominant market. The installer is x86 only and I haven't seen the
sources anywhere _I_ looked.
