I’ll go with Optimist ;-)
I’m sure M$ will screw with Classic Shell just because they can, but the dev quit a year ago and mine are all still working. Now that it’s essentially open source I suspect others will keep it working (although he should just GPL it and be done with it).
“Windows is s service”...yeah I know...then there’s always the Linux CLI...
I've been using Ubuntu 18.04 now for a while and it's really astonishingly supportive of the modern applications. I love, and live in, the terminal/CLI 90% of the time, but when I need a browser, or an office app, or vid-conf, or audio, ... after many years of waiting and struggling, Linux has arrived.
Mind you, I absolutely LOATHE "systemd" -- the startup/init system adopted by most Linux distros over the past few years. It's badly broken and no one admits it and fixes it.
But I can tolerate systemd better than all the BS that Microsoft layered into Win10.
I had great hopes for Win10. Under the hood it's a great operating system. But they don't give you a way to work with it without using their godforsaken UI. PowerShell is nice but it ain't close. Overall, Win10 has become a disappointment to me. It's a shame, really... it could have been so much better.
