I have been there, done that, and there *are* situations in which anaconda seems like the easiest solution for newcomers. In my case I needed to provide a "scientific python" environment with a bunch of different modules which were not packaged for Fedora, or were packaged in versions that were slightly too old. Installing anaconda and then 'conda install a b c' — with a carefully tailored list of a, b, c — worked great. It certainly was less work than making rpm packages for all the missing stuff, and much faster then installing from source using pip. So yeah, conda is a pretty nice solution for some environments, and I think Fedora would be better served by providing conda in the standard repos and allowing people to run with it, and fixing any rough edges, rather then pretending it doesn't exist. There's a copr: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/orion/conda/, and I think orion would be amenable to making this into a real package.
