❔ .NET Framework reference vs NuGet?

Hello! In a .NET-framework project I'm working in there are references to .NET assemblies both as references (<Reference Include="System.Net.Http" />) and NuGet (<PackageReference Include="System.Net.Http"> Version="xxx").

What are the differences between them?
Why do both ways exist?
Which one is better?
