Conan is one of the leading package/dependency managers for C++ libraries.

This isn't necessary anymore since wil now supports cmake installation. Which means we can easily consume it through cmake directly (using your preferred method, ExternalDependency, FetchContent, global install, etc).
That MS wants to push its own competing package managers is to be expected and reasonable. Though passing off nuget as a c++ package manager is laughable ;)

I'll ask, what is conan? my searches did not find anything obvious.

Conan is a dependency manager. See https://bintray.com/conan/conan-center for the main repo of available packages. Their website : https://conan.io/
Good day

@p-groarke
I have to ask, what value conan adds to the table here. I'm not knocking conan in general, just not sure what the value of that is for this repo? the "W" in WIL is "Windows" everything in the library is VERY Windows OS specific so what value is there in having multiple packaging schemes? What scenario isn't possible with the existing Nuget Package that warrants the effort to create and maintain another packaging format? (and one not supported in VS as it prefers VCKG)

@smaillet-ms The gain (for where I work at least) is that we're using CMake with Conan for cross-platform work. While WIL will only be used on Windows builds, we cannot (easily) use NuGet since CMake generates the VS projects.
