    That’s not a compliment to Electron, that’s a heck of an indictment to Microsoft messing up the File Manager.

      I don’t use Windows but I’ve realized all Microsoft apps are just React wrappers on macOS. Then the last time I used Windows I noticed they do the same — so they’ve essentially given up on their own system APIs for UI. 🤣

        It’s legitimately hilarious to me when the creator of the OS ships web-based UI on their own operating system… Like teams on windows. Not only is it a terrible experience, slow, buggy and sluggish - it’s obviously not native - on Microsoft’s own OS! Where they’ve made all the UI APIs!

          Now that I think about it I think Apple Music does the same. I kept having a bug pop up that made it rather obvious it was a JavaScript error. I’m not sure though.

          Text chat client was a solved problem 2 decades ago. Teams felt like one step forward, two steps back and the second one was more of a stumble than a step.
