Collect them all! Install Winget, Chocolatey and Scoop. (I just put the "vs." in there as clickbait.) They make installing and managing software on...

Scoop let's you define package repositories (buckets) in a simple JSON format, whereas Chocolatey requires a NuGet v2 feed. Chocolatey imposes a hard request limit to their public repositories, so you can't use it for production without hosting your own repository. If you read this comment and you are looking for a tool to provision software to Windows-machines in a Linux-style manner, save yourself some time and choose scoop.
That is a significant point about production use of Chocolatey. Thank you for mentioning this, as I did not in the article. This is a positive point for Scoop.

If you're viewing this in 2023 and you're looking for the most linux-like experience, save yourself the hassle, go with Scoop.
I've been using both since this post and Choco is too much of a headache with limitations whereas scoop is a very simple linux-like experience.
Thanks for sharing your experience! I am only using Scoop now, as well.

Chocolatey can cause difficulties for corporate companies. I did not have such a problem while using Scoop. Using and configuring Scoop is very simple.
I knew Scoop recently, and it is very useful. I haven't used Chocolatey, but scoop is very good for me. I can recommend it to everybody.
winget is a better tool. but some development tools such as sass is not available
scoop: 'upgrade' isn't a scoop command.scoop update -ainstead.Good catch. I type
scoop updatemultiple times a week; not sure how I missed that! Thank you.
