On: How many layers of UI inconsistencies are in Windo...

> I agree, but I do want to point out that some of these "not updated" things are still heavily used and offer a bad user experience.

I still remember the day I found out the envvar configuration screen had been updated, and finally:

* could be resized so you could see more than 4 envvars at a time, and had a scrollbar taller than 5mm to scroll through the list

* could be resized so you could actually see the entire envvar value without having to slowly move the cursor rightwards or copy it to notepad

* added a bespoke list editor for PATH so you wouldn't forget the separator or paste the new path at entirely the wrong location half the time

At that moment the sun started shining brighter. God was the old dialog unusable shit.

I haven't used Windows in almost 13 years and I still remember that shitty env var config screen. Wow, this is bringing back memories.

I'm so sorry for the flashback.
