Scoop vs other package managers for Windows

• Doesn't pollute your path. Scoop adds just one directory to your path, no matter how many apps you install with it.
• Doesn't use NuGet. NuGet helps manage library dependencies for software. Scoop doesn't try to stretch NuGet to doing something it was never designed to do.
• Packages are easier to define. Scoop packages can be written in JSON in any text editor—nothing else needed.
• Better interface. Subjective, but true.
