I haven't touched windows in close to 5 years but it's pretty awesome for when you are rebuilding a machine and want to install a bunch of core utils/programs all in one go.

Couldn't agree more. As someone how sets up computers for family members, simplifying the process to Install Windows>Update>Run Ninite>DONE is a massive timesaver.

It's a bit like a package manager. You tick all the things you want to install, and it'll install them with sensible defaults and no prompts.

Yeah, it seems like neat software. I guess I've just become so ingrained in my ways that upon getting a new install setup, I install the same ~7 applications and I'm done. Never even thought to seek out a package manager for Windows.
