Windows store is really bad. The UI, the UX, the lag, the jank, all designed to spoil your day

  and until a couple months ago, it was a crappy web app.

    Steam is a web app.

      Not the main app, only the storefront and the community pages - they're trash too.

        Nah, steam itself has been migrating from VGUI to CEF.

  Literally how is the windows store so bad! Sometimes I'm not signed in and don't want to be signed in (setting up a new machine for someone else). The flows are just horrible. On the mac the store makes things, in general, easier. On windows its comedy. I wonder how many folks like myself now just instinctively avoid it.

  I looked through the MS store yesterday to see what was there. There was lots and lots of nudity apps. Like bikini girls screen savers ... for real.

  I can't think of a single non-developer application by Microsoft which isn't absolute garbage. Skype (after the Microsoft "upgrade"), Teams, Windows Store, the Xbox apps... It's incredible that they are unable to produce a properly working application for their own operating system.

    Office?
