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.
