what about pip freeze to requirements.txt for manually but solid dependency management under venv? pip takes care of dependencies be it venv or poetry, requirements.txt will record what's need so you make your project reproducible and portable. what else does poetry bring to the table? If there is a strong selling point I would like to try poetry again.
