The Tilde Text Editor
Malcolm Smith's YEdit deserves mention here, also inspired by the old MS-DOS Edit which was used by so many people in yesteryears to edit their autoexec files, read .nfo files and poke into the numerous batch files of the day. MS-DOS Edit no longer runs natively outside of something like a DOSBox, but YEdit is the closest thing I have seen to recreating almost exactingly the old nostalgic experience.
Tilde is of course more for the non-Windows audience while YEdit is only for Windows.

Vifm v0.12.1 is now out
Escaping of arguments and slashes in paths will now hopefully work better on Windows, which is generally an issue there. Yori shell is now also handled on Windows.

Windows business cli essentials.
If you're not constrained to inbox tools, there's a lot more out there. Personally I'm not a fan of PowerShell and have posted all of my tools at https://github.com/malxau/yori . Not saying that's an exhaustive set of tools that solves all problems, but it's my list of "what's missing" from the out of box Win32 experience.

How do I show the short DOS path in the ConEmu prompt?
For what it's worth, I maintain my own CMD-like shell (http://www.malsmith.net/yori) and look in forums like this for suggestions/feature requests. I see why you'd like this, but if implemented, it can't ever be consistent, so I worry that it'd just generate more confusion.

For those who use Core installs, what are your pain points?
A start menu/taskbar (stop laughing - I'm not crazy!) It's a 52Kb self contained executable that can parse shortcuts from the start menu folders. Makes RDP to Core into a somewhat sane experience. See https://github.com/malxau/yori/tree/master/yui .

Micro – a modern and intuitive terminal-based text editor
Thankfully, the author of Yori[0] shell has made a modern port of EDIT called, well, Yedit[1].

Windows 10 end of life could prompt torrent of e-waste
You can use Rufus: https://rufus.ie/en/
To modify the ISO to turn off hardware check and TPM support for Windows 11 to install it on an unsupported PC.

Besides Linux and BSD Unix there is: https://reactos.org/ https://aros.sourceforge.io/ https://www.haiku-os.org/ and https://www.arcanoae.com/arcaos/
I know some third-world nations still use DOS and the BORLAND DOS compilers because people donate old computers to their nations.
With the right OS, old computers are still usable. Please don't throw them away, e-cycle them so they get used by poor nations that cannot afford new PCs.

ReactOS Newsletter 103 – Late 2023 News
ReactOS is sometimes very disappointing. Take the issue with toolbar icons, for example. Toolbar icons in at least Office 97, Office 2000 and Visual Basic 6 were affected, as was some game [0]. Microsoft Office is a complex Win32 application, making it a good guinea pig for testing compatibility. And yet, this was fixed a few months ago, and the Office bug was reported in 2016 [1]. The bug with no text wrapping for tray balloons is also an embarrassing thing to have lingering for years (I assume it was like this since the balloons were first implemented in ReactOS).
Does the world really need a buggy Windows Server 2003 reimplementation? I think the efforts of the development team could be better spent elsewhere.

Microsoft Edge is starting to annoy me big time

It's still on my TODO. Mostly cause my parents want XP back.

Windows 9x and Word 9x at 800x600 resolution. Spacious. Comfy
> It's whitespace. There's wayyyy too much god damn whitespace in modern UIs, and it's awful.
I wanted to see how LibreOffice would compare on my netbook, and frankly it's better than the new Word, but still "worse" than the old version: https://i.imgur.com/cWGYh3M.png
That said, at least LibreOffice lets you have your custom themes and actually offers a variety of different interface layouts, which I think is a nice touch: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Videos/User_interface
> Windows 7 with the Classic theme (which really was just a slight evolution over Win2K) was peak UI/UX, and you'll never change my mind. It's been downhill ever since, getting worse and worse with each generation.
To be honest, I'm inclined to agree with this. That's also why I rather enjoyed the Redmond theme even in *nix distros. There's just something so very usable about the old Windows look and more modern attempts, such as SerenityOS https://serenityos.org/ and even ReactOS https://reactos.org/
