Does Microsoft make any attempt to explain why someone would want to switch away from Chocolatey and use this? Until someone can make that case I'm sticking with choco.
Packages have names like "Microsoft.WindowsTerminal"? Is it vendor, period, OS, then the name of the package? Or something else? I'm already confused.
Even when Microsoft is incredibly late to a game, they still manage to recreate the proverbial wheel while happily ignoring tons of lessons which everyone else already figured out.
Also, apparently this doesn't even handle compiling, so this is only a tool to install pre-compiled packages. And there's a whole list of "Scenarios" that looks like an "action" list that came out of a meeting where managers did most of the talking.

Oh, Microsoft.
(Of course they also recycle product names so Silverlight will probably come back but knowing MSFT it will be attached to something that sucks.)
