There is something amazing about someone just sharing a solution like this without expectation of anything back, and even if this isn’t the best right solution, it contributes to the global commons, and improves society.
Choco is pretty good but it does have less packages than say, brew.
As someone who has packaged for Mac's with brew and RPMs and debs on Linux, packaging for windows is a total pain. Choco uses nuget 2 for self hosted repos which means you need to run a server for your packages, which there are things like the PPAs for Linux and Brew uses GitHub releases so you don't need to host anything yourself to provide binaries.
This is also on top of windows needing extra work to develop for, because windows filesystem works differently enough to need code specially for windows. All of this means that windows users suffer on the open source software front.
