I've done a small project with Dioxus on Blitz. It is principally very close to Xilem and in fact is using some of the Xilem components. https://github.com/DioxusLabs/blitz

GIMP is not a good alternative for Paint. Have you ever used [https://sketch.io/sketchpad/] ?

Windows Snipping Tool is a very good tool for taking screen shots.

7Zip and VLC are good examples. The community accepted to download and use many community driven projects over Microsoft provided tools.

There are much better free [web based] alternatives for WordPad, Paint and Notepad these days and I prefer to use those over these obsolete applications. These are not useful applications, we just like them because of nostalgia.

I doubt if Microsoft is removing Paint because of OS base image size. It should be more about source code maintenance and UI consistency. Both WordPad and Paint got ribbon user interface for Windows 7 and calc.exe has been replace by a modern Windows Store app in Windows 10.

Why should Microsoft spend time and resource to keep these applications up to date while majority of users are using better free alternatives?

It is supporting ES2015/16/17 completely but its ES5 support is 99%. All other major browsers have 100% support ES5 for years. http://kangax.github.io/compat-table/es5/#test-Miscellaneous

It could have been more confusing by bumping versions. They first tried ASP.NET 5 and ASP.NET MVC 6 and EF 7 and there was no simple migration path from older version. Now they are all Core 1.0

They reset versioning to 1.0 by renaming .NET to .NET Core

Not sure about IntelliJ but JetBrains has an upcoming C# IDE similar to IntelliJ: https://www.jetbrains.com/rider/

OmniSharp is a language service which can be used by editors such as Sublime, Atom, Vim and VS Code to provide syntax highlighting, in place suggestions, error reporting, refactoring and lots of other cool features. It is open source and cross platform and since it is common language service across all editors, in theory you should expect same error messages and behavior regardless of what OS or editor you are developing in.

Years ago I was using http://www.skygrabber.com and similar apps to get free internet. I remember I got OpenOffice, JDK, .NET SDK and terabytes of random data while I had no internet access whatsoever.

We are talking about millions of dishes. This is where law ridicules itself and impossible to enforce. There are some police raids once a while, but not effective.

Government has no control over receivers since those are already banned and people buy them from underground market. Selling, buying or installing receivers are all illegal and punishable. Having said that, majority of Iranians are watching satellite TVs.

Very good article, it is easy to predict great use cases for JSX concept in the future.

I proposed the idea of using JSX as angular2 templates. They didn't like it and I think the React competition was an important factor for that.

Surprisingly, some essential or very common English words came from Persian including: Check, Magic, Rank, Path, Orange, Peach, Lemon, Candy, Sugar, Caravan, Bronze, Chess, Jackal, Kiosk, Mummy, Paradise...

It is not just an editor. It has debugging capabilities and is extensible. Also runs on Mac and Linux and now open source. In some aspects it is much better than heavy loaded old VisualStudio.
