Not to mention that if you're behind a proxy it gets messy.
I too dabbled in pacifism once.

I like nuget. The good old days you refer to generally included hunting around to find all the dependencies and installing them from multiple locations (sometimes with version compatibility issues). This way, it's a lot cleaner.

I am also a huge fan of NuGet. This way you lets you easily focus on what's important: your code. If you always hunt from dependency to dependency or update to update - with NuGet those problems seem to have disappeared (for me personally).

I generally agree, and look at what Maven[^] has done for java developent - developers can, and do, include a huge number of packages - packages that they proably would not have included if it wasn't so easy to include them. ;)

It is just that sometimes the packages don't have any dependencies and the versions in NuGet isn't the exact ones you are looking for. Where if you have a list on a website with all the older versions listed, at least you might be able to find what you want. I have no issue with using NuGet as a tool, I just have an issue with people choosing it as their only distribution channel
