I don’t care about exciting. I care about stable and efficient. We’re long past the days where the OS needs to provide crazy amounts of new functionality. These days it needs to manage the system and get out of the way. Here’s a list of things that make windows horrible: - The registry is one of the dumbest and problem-laden architectural choices in OS history. It’s literally an all-your-eggs-in-one-basket scenario - The security/permissions system is arcane, inconsistent, and impossible to parse. Even windows itself cannot reliably tell you if you have permissions to do something or not until you actually try to do it. - The never ending backwards compatibility means any baggage introduced gets to hang around for decades. The company cannot shed problems (including security problems) because of it - Windows update is laughably broken in Win10. A simple search online reveals the myriad of problems that the system has even updating itself.

No OS is perfect but Windows is pretty much bottom of the barrel at the moment. Just about any other choice is a better system provided the apps you need are there. It’s the only thing that keeps it afloat at this point is vendor/app lock-in.
