It does look useful at first but once you get familiar with it, you will see it actually is not that useful.

- PennRobotics 2y agoPowerToys can be counterproductive. Consider Ctrl + Space in Windows Explorer. For literal decades, it has been the method for selecting multiple nonsequential files. Now it is the default shortcut for the Peek file preview window. But it doesn't have the title PowerToys or Peek. It's just the filename of whatever gets opened. So now you have two problems: figure out why you can't select multiple files in Explorer like you did last week and last year and ten years ago; and figure out how to disable this mystery preview window so it doesn't keep happening. Hopefully the first time you discover Peek, you aren't trying to delete a subset of sensitive documents in a shared space without using the mouse. But that's okay; the lead dev states PowerToys is an incubator, and that justifies enabling new features by default, so sensitive files should get previewed using Ctrl + Space without warning! (Only that last part is mine.) The tools are too opinionated for the amount of productivity they claim to provide. (Yeah, even Quick Accent. I'll stick with my insecure AHK script. At least it only activates when I ask for it.)
- stinos 2y agoDepends on what you do/need I guess. Overall I'd rate the ones I use rather usefule. I use Run and FancyZones every single day. To the point that it's annoying to not have them when I'm on another computer. The others which I have enabled (because I use them often enough) are e.g Text Extractor, Color Picker, Screen Ruler.
