Title: Add Feature Comparison Table to UV Documentation

Description:
Proposing to add a feature comparison table to the UV project's documentation. This table would compare UV with other popular Python environment management tools such as pip, pipx, poetry, pyenv, and virtualenv. The goal is to help users quickly understand the unique benefits of using UV and make informed decisions on which tool best suits their needs.

Benefits:

  1. Improved Clarity: A clear, side-by-side comparison will help users see the distinctions and advantages of UV over other tools.
  2. Informed Decisions: Users can make better decisions when selecting a tool for their specific use case.
  3. Increased Adoption: Highlighting UV's strengths relative to other tools could lead to increased adoption and usage.

Proposed Table Structure:

Feature UV pip pipx poetry pyenv virtualenv some other tools
Package Management Yes Yes No Yes No No x
Environment Management Yes No Partial Partial Yes Yes x
Dependency Resolution Yes No No Yes No No x
Script Execution Yes No Yes No No No x
some other features x x x x x x x

Additional Information:

Thank you for considering this feature request. Providing a comprehensive comparison will greatly enhance the usability and appeal of UV.

Hi thanks for the suggestion! I'm not a big fan of comparison tables, they're hard to keep up to date as we are not the authority on other tools.

As a minor note, why do you give us a partial on resolution? :)
