Addon Devs: How do you handle dependencies/libs in your development environment?
Also, GitHub repos can use https://github.com/BigWigsMods/packager instead of curseforge release system to get their dependencies, publish to various sites, and support multiple versions of the game.

What Addon Manager should I use?
Same here. All the addons I've developed are on Wago, Wowinterface, and GitHub, as well as Curse. It's super easy these days to deploy to all three places at once using the BigWigs Packager so the day Overwolf pulls the plug on WowUp my addons should just be transitioned to being downloaded from Wago (if enabled) or Wowinterface (if not).

WoW addon manager that is the least obtrusive?
Cursebreaker works well enough. Sure it is limited to Wowinterface and Github releases, but it supports some of the stuff that gets updated daily like raider.io or BigWigs. Mythic Dungeon Tools is one of the few big ones that's missing, but it no longer is a hard requirement like it used to be back in Shadowlands.

Are there any addon updaters that don't install invasive anti-privacy programs like overwolf?
You can give Cursebreaker a try. It supports some of the add-ons that get daily updates like ElvUI, Raider.io, DBM/BigWigs, AdiBags, HandyNotes, OmniCC and a few others. It's not every add-on, but that's the price you pay for not using Overwolf or WowUp.

Addon installer
I use Cursebreaker. For the few add-ons that aren't supported because they are Curseforge-only I check them manually. Most others that receive daily updates are supported, though.

WoW-Addons Updater
I'm tired of manually keeping my addons up-to-date, so I tried https://github.com/AcidWeb/CurseBreaker , but where does it store all the addons? Also some addons from CurseForge are missing. How do I mix/match them?
- Wowup supports CurseForge addons again!

Got WOLK Classic WoW running, now I want addons...
I'm going to offer a linux-y alternative, and suggest CurseBreaker. No GUI, just a CLI. Supports Wago, WowInterface, TukUI, and Github

Sunday Daily Thread: What's everyone working on this week?
I got an idea and I want to make a console tool for some small file management and automatic downloads. I really like how wow's cursebreaker works and looks and I think I'll use it for a template, but I was wondering if anyone here has a nice guide or resource on how to do proper python console GUIs? Just so I can get the hang of fundamentals before trying to do it all at once.

question about downloading ElvUI
If you still want to update ElvUI automatically, you can use its own client, or use an add-on manager like WowUp or Cursebreaker.
- For anyone who used CurseBreaker for addon management. There is still hope for early June.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing packager and CurseBreaker you can also consider the following projects:
strongbox - a World of Warcraft Addon Manager aimed at Linux players
ajour - A World of Warcraft addon manager written in Rust.
