Was curious how scoop compared to chocolatey - and they have a nice summary here: github.com/lukesampson/scoop/wiki/...

But does Scoop have such a large supported database of programs? That is really what makes me use Chocolatey, the UAC popups do not bother me at all.

A list of apps in the "main" bucket:
github.com/ScoopInstaller/Main/tre...

Scoop has also more then the main bucket:

main
extras
versions
nightlies
nirsoft
php
nerd-fonts
nonportable
java
games
jetbrains

It maybe does not have every app for windows. It has the most important ones at least for me. All apps and dev stuff I need is in some of these buckets.
