The only issues I have when developing natively on Windows are when other developers on macOS don't use cross-platform tools (bash scripts). Scoop is a great package manager, and with windows-terminal + powershell you can't really ask for anything better.



I wonder, What’s the key features that make scoop better than winget.

(I use winget as it seems to be now available out of the box)


For me: winget still is missing critical tools that I need, most notably maven. I've also found scoop extremely easy to contribute too. I also don't need to worry about it pulling packages from the windows store or running installers that won't install to my user directory.
