The World of Chocolate Windows
To install some packages, chocolatey uses AutoHotKey (I kid you not) to press the buttons of a non-standard installer.
Example: https://github.com/dtgm/chocolatey-packages/blob/master/automatic/_output/activetcl/8.6.4.1/tools/chocolateyInstall.ps1
You may say that it isn't a chocolatey's fault but a fate of an ill-created installer that doesn't support the unattended mode, and I can't argue w/ such an explanation, but still, when I see something like that I cannot stop laughing at their whole ecosystem.
The level of robustness & engineering ingenuity are both unprecedented.
