In Visual Studio under Tools menu, what is the difference between "NuGet Package Manager" -> "Manage NuGet Packages for Solution..." and "Extensions and Updates..." ?

Extension Manager installs extension which extends the Visual Studio meanwhile NuGet NuGet package manager helps developer to add, update and delete the external library (Packages) and their dependency in your application. Also you can create package from GuNet and share to the world.

Nuget packages are project-specific and travel through source control to your colleagues. An installed extension works in all your own solutions/projects and doesn't get shared.
