[edit] Oh, and I completed the survey [/edit]

Short answer, I avoid all package managers.

I don't mind dependencies, but I want them locked down in the configuration that they initially work in, I don't want something auto-updating because there's a newer version out there, and I want to be in total control of what/when I update.

And when it comes to open source dependencies, I ensure that I can build the damn source code, which more often than not fails and requires tinkering.

And avoiding package managers sometimes involves creating a stub project, using a package manager, and then extracting just the DLL's that I need.

For example, installing the TFS client shyte adds some 30 references to your project. All sorts of cruft. And guess what, I only need 5 of them.

Package managers: Dead | X| Dead | X| Dead | X| Dead | X| Dead | X| Dead | X| Dead | X| Dead | X| Dead | X|
