Pros
1. Easy package exploration: NuGet Package Explorer allows users to quickly view and analyze the contents of NuGet packages without installing them, enhancing understanding and inspection of dependencies and content structure.
2. Package creation and publishing: It provides a user-friendly interface for creating, editing, and publishing NuLooks with ease, streamlining the distribution of .NET libraries and applications.
3. Integrated package management: The software integrates seamlessly with the NuGet ecosystem, supporting package consumption and management directly from the desktop, simplifying the maintenance of .NET projects.
Cons
1. Limited Functionality: NuGet Package Explorer is primarily designed for viewing and creating NuGet packages, which means it may lack advanced features for package management or development tasks, compared to full-fledged IDEs or dedicated package managers.
2. Windows-Centric: The software is tailored for Windows users, which can be a disadvantage for developers who work on other operating systems and seek cross-platform tools.
3. No Command Line Interface: It doesn't offer a command-line interface, which can be a drawback for developers who prefer or require scriptable and automated workflows for package management.
