SEO has essentially destroyed search engines, what are some very useful websites that you might not get given by Google?

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.

    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:

    > choco install libreoffice

    And to update existing programs (something which ninite can't do)

    > choco update

    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.
