I've had biicode recommended to me (https://github.com/biicode/biicode), but I haven't tried it yet.

EDIT: Also worth noting that a common response I've heard to "I need a better manager for my dependencies" is "you have a system package manager for a reason."

What do they say when you reply "Windows"?

I think it goes without saying that those with that sort of response tend not to use Windows, and also often seem to assume that a perfectly in-order Linux/Unix install is the only way to build software.

And also that you're fine with creating a package for any dependency that doesn't have one.

Creating, maintaining, shepherding through distro processes, etc. All so you can then eventually build your own code.
