Not to mention Scoop offers a lot more Unix tools that winget won’t. Also it does everything cleanly in a single folder in your %userprofile% and never requires admin privileges.

And creates huge fucking issues by not using the actual installers and doing user installs in many, many instances. Winget just works, which was my entire point.
And I’ve seen little to no important FOSS projects that weren’t available from winget, which you’d know if you’d actually try it.
