I think for the average consumer, the system is fine but for power users or developers, it just sucks having that control taken away.
From what I understand, there have been a lot of cases where prompts are easy to overlook and time out, restarting a users computer for updates while in the middle of working.
That said, it looks like the upcoming creators update will allow you to choose the time of restarts but not what updates you receive. If you could choose your updates, this file explorer thing wouldn't probably be as big of an issue since you could just opt not to install whichever update adds it.
Of course, future updates might/probably would require it and eventually you might have to but it just feels shittier than paying for the OS outright and having control to accept or deny whatever you like.
This was a little tool that I wrote once I found myself cloning repos/following tutorials and not knowing what a bunch of dependencies actually did.
I find it useful so maybe someone else might? I believe npm view is slightly similar but I think it only operates on one package at a time?
I use the Github plugin myself where each time I push to repo or create/close an issue, it triggers a +1 on a habit (which results in Gold and XP) so indirectly, perhaps you might enjoy it?
I always forget about it then an pleasantly surprised to see a heap of gold + level ups later that day
For our initial prototype, we originally forked your docs repo and heavily modified it which got us up and running quicker than if we had started from scratch!
That said, we ended up switching to another setup later on but still, it would've been painful without your open sourced works!
