       | Neo4j is really neat! I particularly love using its query

       | drawing on a whiteboard.

       | I was able to solve one of the days of the 2019 Advent of Code
       | with just a few lines of Cypher without any other code.

       | I like that your setup makes it easier to drill down to the
       | dependency graph of a single root package, too. pipdeptree will
       | always show you the relationship between every installed package
       | in the current Python environment.
