I always thought they're slow because of JavaScript, but not because of crappy code!
That actually explains a lot.
It would be interesting to know if they lose a lot of users because of slowness, but since it hasn't been fixed, I guess they don't?

Especially everything tabs feels awful. From new tab, to drag-and-drop.
And Mathematica is really good at typing equations.
I'm interested in seeing how atlas works.
Capitalism is just cruelly beautiful sometimes.
Btw, notebooks have soldiered ram.
... since july 2019, a locked discussion, a lot of dupes, and no progress to report thus far.
With WSL2, apps will now use either 50% or 8GB of your available memory.
Happy coding!
It's the opposite of scoop, where everything sits in a single folder, and you can get rid of it easily, and even monkey patch and hack things.
The simplest possible install scenario would be: unzip this file, and add to path.
To uninstall: delete this folder.
Microsoft's solution [0]: if your app is in a zip file, repackage it as a msix/whatever proprietary technology.
To this day, you still can't update, or even uninstall stuff with winget.
But guess what it had baked in since day one (literally the third commit) [1]?
Telemetry.

You can install, update, and uninstall software.
And it also won't leave crap on your machine - everything is portable by default, and sits on a single folder.
Installing software with scoop gives me peace of mind.
Specific examples are spacing, which is bigger on uwp; latency and animation speed; and of course, windowing.
In terminal settings, for example, the settings editor is limited to the terminal window, and the save buttons are aligned to corners.
That means, for example, if the window is too big, the buttons are going to be very far away - lots of mouse travels, it means also that the window sizing will not be ideal - look at settings in Mac apps - there's a popout panel which adapts in size.
If the window is small, things will be cramped. On low resolutions or smaller screens, things are too big and cramped. The save bar occupies a large emtpy space bar on the bottom.
On large screens, high res, it's comically huge and with mostly empty space. It's just stupid.
Is this specific enough?
I just saw in an issue about this your PM say you're following uwp guidelines. That's certainly a part of the problem.
It's the classic "Garbage in, garbage out".
Last time I used windows terminal, you couldn't drag and drop tabs and stuff, and the app was very slow, and the UI, context menu, sizing/scaling, animations, all felt very bad.
I gave up because it's just too slow (more than 15 min to get to 3%).
Maybe plotting is indeed faster, but I don't think I'll actually get to that point.
By the download speed, it might take a few hours before I can plot something.
It also seems that just doing "git clone JuliaRegistries/General.git" is much faster than doing "] add Plots"
Try this:
matlab -nosplash -nodesktop -r "tic; fplot( @(x) [sin(x) cos(x)]); toc"
I'm asking it seems to be getting worse every day. This "padding" they added to Windows Explorer. It's awful.
Why couldn't they just make the address bar less tall instead? Is this a UWP limitation?
