Hello, reports from “new” users 🙂

some users seems to struggle with type providers SDK and also Paket for quite a while.  
Paket seems not supported in VS2019, also the type provider extension makes use of paket (as a mandatory and apparently non-necessary dependency)

can the community help on this 🙂

type providers are one of the coolest feature of F# and i think making them easy to implement for newcomers should be a priority for the lang.

i just created my first test type provider the other day and was quite happy with the result 😃,  
though i mostly followed the pluralsight course and took the files from [FSharp.TypeProviders.SDK/src at master · fsprojects/FSharp.TypeProviders.SDK · GitHub](https://github.com/fsprojects/FSharp.TypeProviders.SDK/tree/master/src)

which makes it non-dependent on paket (which comes with the new sdk as per using the dotnet template)
