AFAIK, vcpkg is MSVC-specific. Not all Windows users use MSVC.

Did you fact-check that assertion?

Yes, Visual Studio is listed as a prerequisite here:

https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg

* Visual Studio 2017 or Visual Studio 2015 Update 3 (on Windows)

The "On Windows" applies to both listed versions of VS, no just 2015 ;-)

Yes, so? Does this contradict what I said?

It invalidates "vcpkg is MSVC-specific", at least.

In what way? Unless the readme is wrong, MSVC is required on Windows.
