It supports most OSes rather nicely, check the docs for a long list of config options. It creates a local package store and configures your user's path for it, each tool is managed with a custom plugin that IME works flawlessly and versions are handled better than anything else I've ever used. It's the only way I'll install Golang or NodeJS lately, and I had good luck with it for Java too.

I prefer sdkman.io for the JVM, has most of the things for stuff that runs on it in one place, including Clojure tooling and Quarkus and whatnot.

Ah cool, maybe I'll check it out someday. JVM isn't a huge part of my daily work though so I'm pretty happy having it managed the same way as everything else for now. I like the intuitive simplicity of a .tool-versions file in a repo that supports a huge variety of tools.
