Anyone ever use Chocolatey and be kinda weirded out on how it works?

Supposedly it runs scripts to download/install software from official sources, but its community packages page looks like an app store that the software vendors wrote off on... until you realize they didn't.

@PepVerbsNouns for me, it's "why do i want a setup.exe wrapper instead of a real package manager?"

missed opportunity there

@libc The main reason I can think of is proprietaty software vendors (many of whom typically only really support Windows) aren't willing to get on board with a third-party package manager.

I do agree that open source software should distribute directly via Chocolatey tho
