This is the most symbolic and unimportant change in history (you can literally just symlink), I think people will be fine.

Symlink requires admin, and most people do not run CC as admin with bypass permissions though.

? You need root to run ln? Since when?

On Windows you do. If you have to suffer it for some reason.

Ah, right. Windows...

Does that apply to WSL? I would assume everyone develops on WSL these days if they have to use Windows, at least...

There is a very valid reason on Windows not to allow people to do 'ln -s' without an admin.

WSL also has a huge perf hit when you cross FS boundary, but perhaps you have never experienced it, because you said, "Ah, right. Windows..."

But at least you've heard about WSL!

		Yes, I prefer to use functional operating systems, or at least ones I can fix myself, without incurring a "huge performance hit" by wrapping them in spyware disguised as an OS ;-)

Right... you can just do it yourself.
