I'm always amazed by just how much community tooling is developed for Windows. From PowerToys to SysInternals, those two package managers, TerraCopy, etc. All things that improve on what Windows ships with because Microsoft refuses to put any effort into doing it themselves and it's not open source so you can't exactly open a pull request and do it for them.

I guess that kind of approach quickly hits an API ceiling when it comes to administration tools. A lot of them need pretty low-level access to things that MS doesn't provide good APIs for and few people want to develop a product on top of entirely unsupported reverse-engineered APIs.

The two problems I see are that the program could have bugs that the original gpedit doesn’t, and how most enterprises wouldn’t dare trust third-party software to manage group policy on their internal network.
