I would rather have devs invest time in serious functionality then doing stuff like GUI.
Otherwise, this quickly turns to nonsence such as Nano server image builder [1] because Microsoft is still babysitting people who CBB to spend few hours to learn Powershell basics and need a GUI that generate 1 liner script.
Microsoft should definitelly rise beyond click next culture.

- st3v3r 10y agoDiscoverability and ease of use ARE serious functionality.
- majkinetor 10y agoThere are different ways to discover stuff. Powershell itself clearly proves that it can be done on system level without any GUI whatsoever. We had the "ease of use" in GUI paradigm for decades and it didn't hold. Why don't you give it a chance as a text ?
- st3v3r 10y agoWhy do you want to limit yourself to only one way of doing things?
- AsyncAwait 10y agoTo be fair, the settings editor in VSCode shows all the settings possible in a split window with user settings, with neat categories and auto-completion. It's almost like a GUI setting dialog noways and makes it way easier to see what you have changed.

The comments tell you in detail how each setting works (as you can see, they are even translated), you can search for a specific setting on the top, and it's categorized as well; defaults on the left, your own on the right.
