Windows 11 unveiled

Just guessing that it’s probably because Explorer has to do it “safely” and does a lot more stuff than the same operation on the command line that’s closer to the metal.

As an aside, as much as I loathe many things about Explorer versus Finder, Explorer actually seems to do a much better job at actual file/folder management than Finder does.

But back on topic if there’s one thing that drives me crazy about the UI design that’s been creeping into Windows since 8 it’s the lack of fucking window chrome where everything becomes essentially borderless, and encroachment on the title area where more and more shit keeps getting dropped into that space. It’s to the point where sometimes I can’t even find the fucking window I want because everything blends together if you’re using a bunch of things with like colors, or I can’t drag a window because someone decided to put a search bar where I like to click.
