This is it exactly. When I was using Npp, Windows didn’t have anything resembling a package manager. Does it even really have one now?

I mean kinda. You have to use both WinGet and Scoop to cover all the use cases...

There's also Chocolatey but I don't know if that gets used anymore.

When I first installed N++, none of these were a thing yet though. It was just the MSI installer.

I would say chocolatey and scoop are pretty much interchangeable. I don't remember why I landed on scoop. Agreed that until recently there have been no package managers on Windows whatsoever.
