Yes, that's an argument for keeping the number of "official" ways to do 
something to a minimum, not an argument against Chocolatey in particular.

Yes but the work starts after the initial coding phase. It's not about 
replacing 0.16.0 with $version and have this script generated, that's indeed 
easy enough. It's about _maintaining_ this in the longer run. Issues might be 
reported, they need to be handled. The alternative ways to install Nim might 
grow a new feature (e.g. choose between Aporia and VS Code Plugin) and the 
Chocolatey package should support that too then.

Also you have misunderstood me in various ways. I will accept such a PR, it's 
just that I am really skeptical.
