Lowering the barrier to be able to try a particular piece of software seems very vital to me. We want people to use this! I feel it's very useful to have a shortcut on how to use a package with your favorite package manager in the feedstock itself.

But I do agree it clutters up the readme a little. Perhaps we can add all package managers as foldable sections like this:

How to use

With Conda ``` conda env create .. ```
With Mamba ``` mamba install .. ```
With Pixi ``` pixi add .. ```

Removing mamba seems strange to me, in that sense we could also argue to remove the conda commands. 🤷
