I've been using Chocolatey for a good while now, and it's great! Just updated my install of mysql workbench using "choco update mysql.workbench" - easy!
I think 'apt-get' for windows is a better description than an alternative to Windows Store.
Recently installed Hyper-V Tech Preview, since this a core server product with no gui and I needed to install some tools, i.e. cpu-z, I decided to use Chocolatey to manage/install software.
Step 1. I cut and pasted the install command line for chocolatey and installed it.
Step 2. I choco install cpu-z
Step 3... there is no step three!
This is a great project and would benefit from all the support we can give it.
I recently changed my pc. It took me 2 commands to install 90% of my dailies applications. One for install Chocolatey and the second for "cinst" everything.
I really hope that the kickstarter will succeed and choco become even better than now! :)
I'm pressuring everyone I know to into giving money to the Chocolatey kickstarter! I want it to work! Chocolatey is amazing, there's not much missing for it to be an obvious choice for any command-line user.
