I discovered Chocolatey during a Windows stint at work ~3 years back and found their package quality to be very poor. I'd go as far as saying packages had a 50% chance of leaving you with a usable installation of software.
We ended up changing provisioning scripts to download .msi installers directly and run them with appropriate switches.
I also remember their website having a lot of "maintainers required" notices - I got the impression that the situation was a little desperate.
Has package quality improved? Is Chocolatey a genuinely reliable way to install software, now?
