Pip can only install Python packages and (unlike conda) cannot account for the dependency graphs connected to each package that it installs, which can break global system dependencies and/or the user's dependency stacks. Even when using pip with a tool like virtualenv, which creates isolated Python environments, it can still inadvertently install Python packages to the wrong places.

On the other hand, conda is a powerful package and environment manager that can install much more than just Python libraries. With conda, users can install entire software stacks such as Python + Django + Celery + PostgreSQL + nginx (while resting assured that all dependencies are accounted for and resolved), as well as R, R libraries, Node.js, Java programs, C / C++ programs and libraries, Perl programs, and more. Conda has an environment management system that allows users to have all of these installed across multiple different environments; it also enables installation of complex software stacks on a system without needing root privileges due to it being able to do all of these software and package installations in an isolated, userspace manner.

## Why is it not recommended to install everything into the `base` environment?
