I write at the moment, because the it's good that microsoft finally has a package manager. But even though choco is community maintained, it's quite good and has a lot things microsoft not yet has. But what annoys me the most with winget ist, that the package names outside of the store packages have horrible names. But you are correct, official is better.
Yeah I really like choco as well, I have my little script to keep softs updated, I haven't spent much time with winget yet. I might be wrong but I think Choco installs software in specific folders instead of the usual C:\Programs or Appdata ?
