While "rewrite" usually means source deletion, let us hope in material world originals will remain. )

I also started using Falkon, but it still lacks too much for me, unfortuantely. And I wish it could import all history too. (
Oh, wait, it's been already do... NO CARRIER
* Librewolf, Palemoon, Falkon.
Oh god... It's still seems faster to hand-merge bookmarks from all of my browsers and devices together.
As for exlorer... The only drawback to your request is, obviously, the need for recursive FS scan, which is expensive. That is why it is not in-built in default file explorer functionality. But XnView, for example, optionally shows brief content of directories (e.g. 4 mini-thumbs over a directory icon).
But I still love C anyway.
Please.
I don't know how to call people who ignore backwards-compatibility. My sites work on IE6 if needed.
Also, to be fair: it was VGUI2, which, AFAIK, was introduced with Steam UI and still used in HL2. And was never made available to modders of GS.
How freaking bold this mofo is! I stopped using GitSht because after being bought by MS it went downhill progressively rendering every crucial feature unusable! Like on purpose, simplest things like buttons and menus went more and more broken. Month by month SOMETHING new went wrong. How f* sinister can devs be to enjoy torturing users so much? Oh, right: this is a corporate policy.
I have 3 browsers that are possible to run on my system and NONE of them fully works with GitHub. When even on PaleMoon issue comments started glitching I gave up on GH. F*k it. I'd rather run my own.
But, to be fair, I still use win7 in native (unthemed) UI mode and haven't played many modern games to have a proper comparison :D
I personally had to rewrite most of mod's VGUI code to make it less leaky and more usable, and not once have I thought of using CSS instead of those INI-style theme configs. But CSS is too complicated to parse (and no one will use that anyway). :(
Heh, while I wasn't a movie BD enthusiast, I'm well into data backup solutions for home. Even considered buying an LTO drive once. But backing up to 100GB discs is pretty much doable, valid solution. Except for clustering (dividing files/dirs between discs) and updates (which are only possible on BD-REs, but very time-consuming).
I also discovered DVD-RAMs recently, and not only are they darn beautiful, but very versatile and claimed to be more reliable than usual DVDs (nothing beats M-DVDs though). Good for storing project sources.
- new TV
- new BD player
- new discs with probably mostly the same movies at the beginning
Plus:
- HD had lots of weird and obscure formats and ridiculous confusing naming like HD/Full HD/Progressive HD/your mom's HD
- no affordable computer drives at first
- new DRM protection
- and many PC owners didn't even have HD-compatible (e.g. 1280x) displays! Let alone 1920x+.
- by the time BD-RW.. I mean BD-RE drives became afordable, flash drives overwhelmed the market.
So, adopting BDs was generally more challenging than it was CDs or DVDs. Next, they were a bit too late for "just storage media" use case. And finally, by the time people started caring about their personal cold data storage, BD production started shrinking.
During past year I was preparing to fully embrace Blu-ray for cold storage. Even bought a USB3.0 controller to shove into my NAS (that silently failed to recognize it) to use with external BD writer.
Only few of discs I bought are made by Sony, but I was planning to expand that collection.
The barrier of entry into BD enthusiast territory is already quite high: you have to read dozens of forum posts worth hundreds of pages to gain somewhat reliable knowledge befor buying something reliable - drives, discs, controllers, software. But now it's one less source for blanks of acceptable quality. No doubt it will lead to rise of already high prices of BD media.
I sincerely think BDs could be way more popular if people were more educated in data storage. Most individuals and businesses have data that they would want to store and protect long-term. But, for example, I knew someone who bought regular cheap USB flash pen-drives for backup of valuable photos and stored them in a drawer. Others, more advanced failures include cheap CD-Rs, old HDDs (literally: some guys are like "my laptop HDD is too old, slow and small, I think I'll copy my most valuable information there and throw it on a shelf") and cursed cloud services. If only more people realized how fragile most data storage solutions are!
