  > Also, the editor does not seem to run on Windows 7 ("createpseudoconsole could not be located" in KERNEL32.dll) Windows 7 EOL was 2 years ago though. (I know it's the last version of Windows that isn't an add-bloated spyware but still) https://www.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/windows-7-end-of-life-support-information https://www.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/windows-7-end-of-lif...

    Note that Windows 10 has some really nice OS API additions that may make devs consider ditching Windows 7 support (such as the createpseudoconsole function you’ve mentioned: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/console/createpseudoconsole https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/console/createpseud...)

    True. But it shouldn't be. It's like tearing down a perfectly good neighborhood to make way for a hotel that doesn't really benefit the town.

      In my opinion, that's a main reason developers should favor open source tools, they never truly 'go away'. The code is out there, so keeping it going then comes down to whether someone cares enough to maintain it. Not saying that path is all roses...

        It's same. Surrounding environments will change and just because the source of a previous version is there doesn't mean you can stably run it years on.

  Pseudoconsole/ConPTY is a big deal and this would need a complex fallback for Windows 7 and 8. Probably not worthwhile.
