> instead of being left behind all over a bloated registry
Really? I think the idea of a central, generic, key-value pair database for all the setting on a system is probably the most elegant reasonable implementation there could be.
The initial implementation of Windows Registry wasn't good. It was overly simplistic and pretty slow. Though the "bloat" (what ever that means) of registry hasn't been an actual issue in over 20 years. The only people invested in convincing you "it's an issue" are CCleaner type software that promise to "speed up your computer" if you just pay $6.99.
How many rows do you need in a sqlite database for it to be "bloated"?
