You know what happens when you write a \ --> / converter? You get the python2 to python3 migration mess. Except with Windows it would have been millions of mom and pop shops left out in the lurch.
- Alupis 3y agoNo it wouldn't - because Microsoft did write a \ -> / converter and none of this bad stuff happened. Microsoft just chooses to still display \ to you in the UI... which is ridiculous and perpetuates \ living on in all user-facing places.
- foobarian 3y agoAre we arguing different things? I.e. removing support for \ altogether from anywhere in the OS vs. not showing it in UIs? I personally like the latter but it's a matter of taste I guess :-). It gives me warm and fuzzies to see C:\ D:\ etc. live on.
