Yep, I think this is my main gripe with C++ on Windows right now. vcpkg is meant to work with CMake or Visual Studio, but you still have to manually tell it where your toolchain file is - which means it's additional work for the rest of your team. In Visual Studio, it's seamless.
On Windows, it's gotten to the point where I try to build dependencies as part of the build chain and hope the tooling is smart enough to not rebuild them a million times. Would be really nice if Windows 10X (or whatever) could come with a package manager or integrate vcpkg.
