You have never gone to shave and felt the pull and tug of an old razor? Then
you go to work only to forget that you need to buy new ones on the way home
and the process goes on again. This process happens to me because I am usually
focused on buying food and not non-perishable goods.

I switched to DSC recently because of this and I am tired of paying
Gillette/Schick $20-$30 on a pack of razors.

Digging around the announcement a bit, I'm having a hard time seeing why I
might prefer this over Conan[1], and I'm not seeing anything about how I can
stand up my own private repository for vcpkg, which is what I am about to do
with Conan. Can anyone sound off (or link a page where someone has done so) on
what might tip someone toward this over Conan or vice versa?

vcpkg has an FAQ[1] regarding this, if someone could find one from the other
perspective I think that would be helpful.

Personally, I prefer their integration with CMake, letting me
`find_package(spdlog 0.16 REQUIRED)` allowing others to point to their own
version with `-Dspdlog_DIR=...`.
