what's wrong with nuget? I have to say I like the "I want latest" "no, all your dependencies are pinned you want to update latest you gotta decide to do it" workflow. I can think of some bad problems when you try to do fancy things with it but the basic case of "I just want to fetch my program's dependencies" it's fine.
I'm guessing they only used it 10 years ago when it was very rough around the edges. It didn't integrate well with the old .NET Framework because it conflicted with how web.config managed dependencies and poor integration with VS. It was quite bad back then.. but so was .NET Framework in general. Then they rebuilt from the ground up with dotnet core and it's been rock solid since
Or they just hate Microsoft, which is a common motif to shit on anything Microsoft does regardless of the actual product.
Imho the VS integration has always been good, it's the web config that's always been a trash fire, and that's not new.
The project I'm on right now originally had the nuget.exe saved in source because they had to manually run it through build scripts, it wasn't built in to VS until VS2012
