WinGet is terrible, I want AppGet back
Notwithstanding all the benefits of a package manager, it's always seemed to me like it's not a very idiomatic way to manage Windows apps.<p>I wonder why after all this time Microsoft hasn't created an API to allow applications to register background update checks, like for example allowing applications to hook into the Windows update process or something. That seems like it would be more intuitive for most Windows users than a command-line package manager.<p>Of course they have some attempts at this but they don't cover every kind of application. Like ClickOnce (only for .NET) or Windows Store (only for UWP)
