Conda is great to manage dependencies!

But it is slow to resolve potentially clashing requirements and error messages are basically not very human friendly.

Using: Mamba instead gives you a fast drop-in replacement for conda which is also producing human friendly error messages.

I really do recommend using mamba - especially for complex environments. The best thing about it: you can simply install it using traditional conda ;)
