In other words, Unix (modular agile) way vs Windows (bloated monolithic) way.
The problem is that Windows way seems prevalent (or maybe I'm overestimating it). Perhaps, much to my joy, a focus would shift soon, but that doesn't look like it will given the abundance of new installs for the win10 nagware.
- brbsix 10y agoThe way this plays out, it sort of reminds me of Linux (you can do whatever you want, but you're on your own!) versus Apple (we know what you want even better than you do). As a developer, I'm loathe to see my precious configuration disappear, but I can see the appeal for minimalist interfaces from the user perspective.

- khedoros 10y agoThat's a reasonable trade-off, if the sole alternative is being unable to do something that you need to.
