Can it do uninstalls well yet?

I tried to make a package for a simple binary last year (I believe it was premake4 or something). It was annoying to use, and other software I installed with it didn't have an uninstall option.

Package managers make me happy (love Homebrew on OSX), but I don't see a point if I can't also uninstall. I rarely install things from sources that need vetting.

Yes, and they've done some work on automatic uninstall so that there's less work required by packages to support uninstall: https://github.com/chocolatey/choco/wiki/CommandsUninstall
