I don't know about that. Microsoft operates NuGet (the .NET equivalent of NPM or Gems) and the way of downloading packages is through powershell (albeit a specially docked version inside Visual Studio).
I agree that it's treated as second class in that most utilities are not designed with it in mind first but I can see that changing over time. They are already excellent Powershell equivalents of Make and Apt/Yum by third parties. Third parties have embraced it pretty strongly.

- MatthewPhillips 14y agoIf you go to any package on nuget.org, it's the way you're instructed to install. For example: http://nuget.org/packages/Nancy http://nuget.org/packages/Nancy
