IMO it's not even a Windows vs GNU/Linux debate (although yeah, maybe more of the users of the latter would be familiar with the CLI), it's about using the right tool for the job. Image or video editing? Good luck even starting to do anything without a mouse. Installing something? Yup, even on Windows I'd prefer doing scoop install foobar2000 instead of opening a store app or a website.

I used to use Chocolatey on Windows and briefly tried scoop but now I prefer winget. I dunno, it feels... More official? :)

I made the mistake of installing powershell using the Microsoft store. Now Winget refuses to update it. I have to open the store to do it.

My biggest gripe with Winget is it's not available on windows server yet.

You're right. I can't imagine using windows without scoop or chocolatey.
