> Also remember that C++ does not have a "package manager". Some of the most complex and massive applications in the world are written in C++, yet you do not hear many C++ developers crying "When will we finally get a package manager?". It is not even on the agenda. C does not have one either.
So? C also doesn't have a module system. It doesn't mean it's not a desirable feature.

Package managers and UX are orthogonal concepts. You're free to not like Linux package managers, but the development of nuget in Visual Studio shows that not everybody embraces the installer download "package management" with enthusiasm. You'll note that most modern (and not so modern) programming languages (Java, Python, Perl, Ruby, Haskell, PHP...) have found the need for one.
