> Conan and vcpkg exist now and are actively maintained

I am not sure if it is just me, but I seem to constantly run into broken vcpkg packages with bad security patches that keep them from compiling, cmake scripts that can't find the binaries, missing headers and other fun issues.

I've never had a problem with vcpkg, surprisingly. Perhaps it is just a matter of which packages we are using.

C++ community would be better off without Conan.

Avoid at all cost.
