Adding one dependency to your toolchain which in turn helps you with dealing with an open-ended set of 3rd party dependencies is a good deal.

FWIW, I’ve been working on a project that has transitioned from a standard-ish CMake super build to vcpkg and it has been a fantastic upgrade in terms of usability and reliability.

There are huge swaths of the C++ lands map I’ve not visited, so I’m sure there are areas where it wouldn’t be a good choice, but I personally think vcpkg has been great.
