Yet another example of something with "modern" in its name which is much worse than what came before. This trend has been so infuriatingly consistent that anytime I hear something advertised as "modern" I think "the only reason they want you to think it's better is because it's newer, not because it's actually any better".



Newer often means better for corporate bottom lines rather than users. That’s why the telemetry can’t be stopped for even a few hours.


Yup. Modern often means “we re-wrote it and got 90% of the functionality but totally missed all of the thousands of edge cases the previous team worked so hard to handle in their implementation”

What jumps to mind is macOS’s Disk Utilities app.
