I'd be willing to pay a modest fee to have a repository of common software, always up to date, free of adware, and that can be updated automatically. A sort of commercial chocolatey with more choice and more up to date packages.
Yeah, I looked at it. The problem I have with ninite is their limited number of apps. Even with Chocolatey there are some key apps (to me) missing, like Spybot Anti Beacon.
Ideally you would want something popular enough that developers would be rushing to submit packages for their apps and so even relatively small softwares would be available. If customers are paying (and the cost should be fairly modest anyway), it would be an efficient way for developers to distribute their binaries.
The most popular package on chocolatey has 700,000 downloads right now. A typical user of chocolatey would have multiple machines and must download multiple version so at best you must have 100,000 people using it in the world (most likely far less). That's a negligible fraction of the windows user base.
