Our review
What we like
Similar to Homebrew on macOS, lets Windows users install apps from the command line. Bypasses permissions and GUI wizards. Manages all dependencies and any extra setup. Has community packages for games, fonts, Java, PHP, databases. Scriptable for automating machine bootstrapping. Easy to write your own packages.
What we don't like
Windows only (obviously). Requires PowerShell to install.
