I don't get ms. There's a good kind of copy and a bad kind of copy. Why is the bad kind the default?
- derefr 7y agoThe bad kind keeps a legacy API that allows batch scripts from 1985 to work. In every modern OS, the system packages—and most installable first-party packages in a package ecosystem—are there to make the (legacy) software you might install “just work”, not to provide the best experience for users using those packages directly. Users, for their own needs, are expected to install their own tools and runtimes, or to consume collections of them through “toolchain environments” provided by software like IDEs.
