On 3. I've found Aurelia templates to be much better in that regard. Their templates are valid HTML and compile well. I'm not a huge fan of embedding html within the JS (even with JSX) been easier to work with separate template fi

I mean it does help the US and it's citizen's to be the center of innovation and for others to depend on american economic outputs. I'm not sure that it's Jingoism for people in the US to think that losing out of our com

Depends what main customers you are thinking off. For this product in particular, it seems these users might be potential customers of powershell. Each product has it's own main customers.

They may not ever deprecate W32 apis (I bet they won't) but they also don't need to support it for new development. Hypothetically if DX13 required using UWP and given they want all xbox games to also work on windows, they I beli

"Flash never really was a problem for me; very very few used it for anything critical." Actually there was a period (end of the 90s, early 2000s) where flash was pervasively used to build entire sites. They were worse than single

It is, it usually seems to be with referendums like this. I remember a similar situation with the Quebec referendum of 95. A lot of unresolved questions, vague ideas on how to essentially keep certain things the same and change others but n
