This tool exemplifies all that baffles me about devs who prefer Windows.
You have to go download a third-party GUI tool to manage environment variables because the baked-in GUI tool sucks. And everyone trumpets this situation as just dandy because the difference in usability between the third-party tool and the baked-in tool is enough that obviously that means the third-party tool is awesome, and not just a passable workaround for a crappy system.
Y'know what the equivalent of this is in Unixes? A text editor and a shell-script, all easily doable over SSH without having to render any GUIs, and all trivial to automate.
- aplc0r 11y agoNot to completely defend Windows, but I feel like everyone forgets that it also has a powerful, though verbose, shell available. This sort of thing is also trivial via Powershell: [Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("TestVariable", "Test value", "User")
