[poll] State of package managers in 2021

• Vcpkg

  147 21,652 10.0 CMake

  C++ Library Manager for Windows, Linux, and MacOS

  

I can speak from some experience due to https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg/pull/15603. All my libraries issue GitHub releases with source tarballs and prebuilt binaries for various canned platforms and architectures, yet getting my libraries into vcpkg discovered bugs in my packaging and cross compilation 70% of the time which required fixes upstream in my libraries. The other 30% of effort has gone into working around vcpkg being weird for often (in my opinion) no good reason.
