I do not think apt-get means what you think it means.
Chocolatey seems to implement a subset of the functions that apt-get is useful for.
On Windows if I want to look for system updates, I use Windows update. On Debian I use apt-get.
On Windows if I want a library to use on a project, I use NuGet. On Debian I use apt-get.
On Windows if I want to install a bunch of free applications, I probably will use ninite, but chocolaty looks like a nice replacement for this. On Debian I use apt-get.
That said chocolatey seems like a nice tool for windows.
No need to be pedantic. The OP used apt-get as a good enough analogy and got the point across quite clearly. It let's you install things quickly, just like apt-get.
"But with apt-get you can perform searches not just exact name ma-"
Nope. Don't be pedantic. You got the point, that was the intention.
I don't think you understand what the word "like" means. It is a word used to convey similarities, and not exact sameness. The OP states that chocolatey is LIKE apt-get for Windows, he does not say that choclatey IS apt-get for Windows.
