I'm going to sound like a zealot at this point but:

I suspect we're going to continue in having churn in what people seem to be calling project/environment managers simply because there's a bunch of possible workflows (given the various possible deployment scenarios), and there's enough library support that starting your own is a weekend project (and then all the corner cases are discovered and you make a choice that works for some but not others and the cycle begins anew). conda seems to have dominated its niche (I haven't seen activepython nor enthought in years), but I suspect that part of the ecosystem is more naturally stable.
That's pretty much what "Relieving your Python packaging pain" advocates.
