Scoop is such an excellent package manager for Windows in my experience. It makes the best of what it’s given and it’s usually as seamless as using Linux.
All Microsoft developer tools (and that is the target user for Winget) have felt so janky to me. Also, their documentation sucks most of the time.
I use Chocolatey, but I’ve looked at Scoop before. Any big differences between the two? I just don’t want to relearn commands and edit scripts (for multiple machines, and scheduled tasks) if I get the same outcome…
I last used Chocolatey some years ago so I can’t compare them but they both serve the same function at the end of the day. If choco works well for you, there’s probably not much reason to switch.

Okay, thanks =)
I use Choco for system level stuff and Scoop for tools (because it’s user level).
