Which is your most loved feature of C++?
When I discovered vcpkg I waq very disappointed and started to look for alternatives. I found cppan (https://github.com/cppan/cppan) which was exactly what I was looking for (A bit like npm but for C++). It became sw and I don't really like that name but it's still the best thing I've found for handling dependencies on Windows.
What are some alternatives?
