> for anyone sane would install it via scoop anyway

The lack of awareness here is mind-blowing.

Good post otherwise. Great graph.

This attitude rubs me the wrong way and sadly pollutes the rest of the article. Not understanding that organizations and people all have different needs is such a blind point of view. Not acknowledging winget or chocolatey much less suggesting using them (or gasp, the web site) to be insane is so wrong-headed.

I am not super familiar with the windows ecosystem but my understanding is that scoop is a package manager similar to choco or nuget correct? is scoop seen as bloated? thanks

The lack of awareness is that the vast majority of users are not aware of and don't use scoop (or probably any package manager) on Windows, especially to install GUI apps, and that doesn't automatically make them "not sane".

Even if someone uses a package manager, they probably use choco. I'd never even heard of scoop before reading this article.

choco needs admin rights, something corporate minions, as me, does not always have.

scoop works always as user.

[microflash]

scoop is fine since it keeps itself confined to user profile, unlike some other package managers.

Doesn't winget prefer to respect the package source's intention?
