>Cross-platform app distribution is a hard problem! [...] At least on OS X, things are a little easier with Homebrew

well.. yeah.. Every OS has an easy way to distribute binaries, the hard part is having something that work on each of them.

Well, there's Chocolatey but that comes with its own set of quirks.

Didn't Windows 10 get PackageManagement FKA OneGet? I mean I haven't upgraded because of privacy, but at least it exists.

Interesting, TIL. I wonder how complete it is. E.g. how much work until you have python and pip? gcc? An SMTP Server? A web server?

From a user's perspective maybe (although I find the usefulness of that thing highly questionable on a current Windows 10 computer, it doesn't even have a touch friendly official youtube app last time I checked). But from a dev's perspective, i.e. getting the tools to develop something? Nah, not even close.
