A glimpse into the universe where Windows died with the 1980s
At this point ConHost.exe is open source [0] so it is maybe not a stretch to expect Microsoft to open source CMD.EXE at some point.
Though with PowerShell being cross-platform and already open source, I personally don't think there's enough to gain in some sort of better open source CMD.EXE fork. I'd be interested in being proved wrong on that, but I'm also happy enough with PowerShell these days I'm not in a hurry to return to CMD.EXE.

Should Windows have a default CLI editor?
"There are plenty of offline scenarios where this would be incredibly useful. For disconnected environments, etc. There are some environments that will never connect to winget."

Calibre – New in Calibre 7.0
I update it with Brew on macOS and Scoop [1] on Windows (but I guess it is included in other package managers such as chocolatey).
Of course, a built-in auto-updater would be good, but a packaged version is a nice workaround for me.

WinDeckOS is OUT NOW!!
I suggest creating your own PowerShell scripts and distributing them via scoop, by making a steam deck bucket, some windows power users should be able to help, then just make a video on how to install those scripts, or try reaching out to Chris Titus on YT, he made a windows de-bloater tool using PowerShell scripts

Switching from Emacs. My experience
Thanks to [Scoop](https://scoop.sh/), installing Neovim, and all the necessary tools such as ripgrep, fd, bat, and even Alacritty is pretty easy in Windows, and although it doesn't feel nearly as fast as in a Linux machine, it is still very performant, especially when comparing it to Emacs and VSCode.

Software that you love and/or makes your job easier
I almost exclusively SSH nowadays, so when I'm on Windows I use Scoop and use Windows Terminal, PowerShell Core with Starship, openssh (or git-with-openssh), and coreutils. This setup fits fairly well with my general Linux workflow. All of this easily installable with scoop.
