WPF - Please tell me there are simpler ways of launching a modal window prompting the user to browse to a file directory or file path.
On a kinda related note, here's a useful library for extended dialog functionality.

Are there any .NET Core Dialogs that allow picking both files or folders in the same dialog?
So are there any libraries out there that provide this type of functionality? I also tried the Ookii.Dialogs.Wpf library, but it also does not provide such functionality.

How should i go about making a library to color code (syntax highlighting) a user has written?
For the most part it's best to just use something like AvalonEdit that already implements it for you. There's some documentation and if you dig a long time ago there was a book about how it was made (along with SharpDevelop) that may still be findable.

Better approach for sending text from worker thread to UI thread?
I lied in the OP. The text box I'm using is actually the AvalonEdit text editor and it apparently doesn't support binding and they think it would cause performance issues: https://github.com/icsharpcode/AvalonEdit/issues/84

I made a thing
Not OP, but at work I recently implemented an HTML/CSS/JS code editor and used AvalonEdit to great effect for syntax highlighting in a large multi-line textbox. I was also able to add custom linting via regexs and it's got custom theming capabilities. Super happy with it.
