Another huge problem of winget's lack of philosophy and microsoft's inferior implementation of products, is that to this day, a feature that is marked as fixed, is still broken, which is the ability to uninstall software from a windows system. |

Scoop is made for unzipping CLI tools -- ideal for Git, Python, ffmpeg... For ideal workflow, it is beneficial to use both. |

"WinGet is made for running installers -- ideal for Steam, IDEs, browsers" That is a fantastic description. Emphasis on running installers - winget will not allow you to properly uninstall most things that you have acquired with it. |

@keenbowl3009 Not my experience at all. If the installer properly registers an uninstaller, winget will run it. |

The functionalities of Winget and Scoop are largely orthogonal - they serve different purposes and do them well. Winget allows you to cleanly uninstall inbox UWP apps (looking at you Cortana) - something that was nearly impossible manually. I haven't faced any uninstallation issues (yet) with Winget. Here's a previous discussion related to this - #3992 - with comments from the creator of Scoop itself. |

Try uninstalling "calibre.calibre.portable": microsoft/winget-cli#1750 |

Obligatory reference to winget uninstaller being broken for yet another package. And the msft team marked the issue as done! Qwality! microsoft/winget-cli#121 |

I don't understand the hate, really. If you don't like a product, just... don't use it!? Winget is barely a year old, and nobody is forcing you to use it. |

Winget is the default windows package manager. It comes bundled with windows. Microsoft encourages windows users to use the tool: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/package-manager/winget/

I don't see any reference in the docs that encourage you to use it. It's a doc for those who are looking for that doc. Besides, Encouraged != Forced |

Glad to know then that Microsoft does not encourage users to use winget, the default windows package manager. 😂

I see you switched back to your old account now. You surely use a lot of energy on bashing winget! Why? You made me self-reflect and realize that my effort on you is wasted. From now, I will stop commenting and only use the "thumbs down" emoji. |

@keenbowl3009 @EqualDust @keentext @BentramLawrence @ShanConn, how many more accounts will you make? If you want to flame about something, write a blog and publish it somewhere. Don't bug people here with such non-constructive comments. You will get blocked. |

Hello community,
I would like to know about ways in which we can support the scoop community and their efforts.
We're seeing aggressive marketing of winget by microsoft, and as we all know, winget has absolutely no philosophy.
I would like to know what is the philosophy of scoop, and how much in agreement with it the scoop community stands!
Here is a problem that shows the lack of philosophy:
microsoft/winget-cli#1711
The same lack of philosophy does not occur with scoop packages because they are as easy to get rid of than they are of installing!
