Chocolatey isn't really made for the DIYer setting up their computer for a one-off install - for that I always recommend Ninite. Chocolatey is useful for enterprises and advanced DIYers though.
idk, it's just one line to install every program you need and has a LOT more selection.
Ninite has like 20 programs to choose from, whereas Chocolatey has official and community repositories which are enabled by default and contain (as of writing this) 9872 programs. You don't need to be a master hacker to use chocolatey. It's literally one powershell command to install it, and then:
And to update existing programs (something which ninite can't do)
I agree that Ninite might be useful for your 64yr old grandma who only uses Google Chrome and gets the spooks when she sees the command-line, but chocolatey is the go-to tool if you've got any needs more advanced than that.
