Yet another package manager for Linux/MacOs to put yet more duplicates of already packaged software on our disks. As a solution for Windows, vcpkg fills a gap (I use it myself). For other platforms, this just adds more waste.
And the first thing it does on Ubuntu 16.04 is to force me to install g++-7 from the toolchain ppa. So now presumably I have to link everything statically (ever tried that with gtk?) or the users of my software will have to install g++-7 too?
