Oh God, speaking of hating VS: I recently had to nuke it and reinstall (partially my own fault), and missed the option to set file type associations. So it set any and all source files it could think of, including .py files, to VS. That is when I discovered the old functionality of setting associations by program is broken for non-store applications, as notepad++ was missing from the options list. One has to manually set the association for each and every file type. If I'm opening a source file in explorer rather than opening a solution file, it generally means I just need to take a quick peek and don't appreciate the startup delay of something as heavy as VS. And the file association panel is only half broken, since setting association per program is UWP only, while per file type still has the older control panel available.
Maybe I'm just stupid, but I refuse to waste 2 hours of my life googling what has always been a relatively straightforward task. And it seems that every UWP program has to have ~40% of its "advanced" features removed like this in the name of ease of use.
