But I can not imagine a development environment without a proper package manager. Yea, the language-specific ones are neat (e.g. yarn, pip), but as a generic Windows package manager, I like Scoop (scoop.sh) a lot. Can only recommend it to anyone who is annoyed by Chocolatey!
Apart from that, are you folks really satisfied with your dev setup under Windows? Generally speaking I find it to be more frustrating to get things to work the way I want, compared to Linux and macOS. Package Manager is a big part of this, but also shell (I can not get fish to properly function under Windows).
I'm super happy with my dev environment. I've gotten used to not using package managers since majority of my tools auto-update and things like Node need updating only when it's necessary for my work (we all sync up on Node versions). Outside of that, I don't find myself needing a package manager (aside from lang-specific ones)
Package management needs work but it's been slowly crawling to a good place. :)
And again, there's always WSL!

Nice selection of tools.
