Chocolatey is quite good as well and in my opinion it does what it is supposed to. It only supports NuGet v2 which is becoming a problem, but being a open source project it's anyone's guess when improved NuGet support will be available. https://github.com/chocolatey/choco/issues/508 The big win with WinGet is mostly that it is a proper supported solution backed by Microsoft. But WinGet seems to require some more months before it is ready for primetime.
In WinGet is terrible, I want AppGet back
