In support of single binary executable packages
As I see it, part of the drive behind tools like Scoop is to overcome the limitations of the binary-shipping strategy common to Windows developers. They are successful at this, I agree, but only partially successful. They come from the tradition of programs like Ninite, which were explicitly built as ways to make the binary approach suck less than it did before.
I see the success of these programs as essentially stemming from the insertion of user interests in the form of a maintainer-like process. Sure, they're still working with the binaries, but the actual process of installing and managing these binaries is controlled by users, for users: https://github.com/ScoopInstaller/Main/tree/master/bucket
This means that you get moderation and in many cases modification to the behavior of the program. In a freeware environment like Windows that's full of shitware, at the very least you can in many cases strip out the ads. That's absolutely not nothing, but at the end of the day it comes from a group of user-maintainers stepping up and saying to developers that no, you cannot simply do whatever you want on my system with your software. That's ... sort of the whole point of a software distribution, in the Linux world!
When I want the latest version of a CLI tool on Linux, I simply `pacman -S package`. That's it; one command. I don't see how it could be any simpler or better than that, and on top of that I'm getting the benefits of moderation and integration with the rest of my system. Perhaps you are emphasizing latest version here, and hinting that you don't get that on Linux distros? That depends entirely on the distro; a software distribution is (roughly) a collection of user interests. An Arch user wants (and gets) the latest versions of all upstream software. A Debian user does not want this or see constant updating to the latest version as an advantage, so that's not what they get.

tor-browser 12.0.4 installed from scoop not functioning
In case anyone has tor-browser installed from scoop and was wondering why it might not be connecting (just stuck on "Establishing a connection" it's probably related to something like this. In any case, in the meantime installing the one from the main website will work - I did a "lazy install" by just right clicking -> 7z -> extract to torbrowser-install-win64-12.0.4_ALL folder, go to /torbrowser-install-win64-12.0.4\ALL/Browser/) and launch firefox.exe and you should be good to go.

One Commander V3 - File manager with dual-pane browsing, tabs, columns navigation, editable themes and icons, and more. See 4 screenshots and first comment for info and free download
Would you please consider creating a package for Chocolatey and/or adding it to the extras bucket for Scoop? I think it's always better when the authors of the programs are also the maintainers of the packages, but I understand if it's outside your scope.
