Ask HN: Homebrew equivalent for windows?

I would be using windows for development and am considering using scoop as against chocolatery , but which is better from your experience?

I prefer scoop since it installs in a central folder, so you know where things are installed, and you can make your own "Bucket"(1) which is essentially a bunch of JSON manifest files in a git repo

also there is a comparison in the scoop wiki about the differences between it and chocolatey if you missed it (2)
