It might also be nice to have something that would steer folks towards PackageReference if they were using packages that might benefit from it (analyzers, projectreference to a project using PackageReference, etc) |

As someone who is not a Nuget buff, I can confirm that it took me half a day of work to even realise the existence of this kind of obscure setting, while I was trying to package a project with its project dependencies |

NuGet Product(s) Affected
Visual Studio Package Management UI
Current Behavior
Currently in a fresh install of Visual Studio 2022, the default package management format is set to
Packages.config.This tends to throw people off with certain project types that do support
PackageReferencewhich requires the user to figure out the current behavior, NuGet options, and change the default behavior after removing thepackages.configfile to restart.Desired Behavior
We should change the default behavior to
PackageReferencein this dropdown.Additional Context
