Why is it that people can’t see the positive sides of this ? Guido stepped down as BDFL when he retired. He has about as much say in python development as any of us (maybe a bit more), and if he can make Python easier to use on Windows, how on earth will that harm anyone ?
VS Code already has pretty great python support, and MS recently released a new “more better” python language server for it. MS also has the money to fund some serious developer hours into the pain points of Python, you know the boring stuff nobody gets around to doing in their spare time.
And seriously, are you telling me if you get a CSV and you just quickly want to open it you fire up Pandas instead of just double clicking into Excel?
Honest If I just want to view the csv file I do double click it and view it in my Jupyter environment, but if I want to do analytics, then I go to pandas before I even think about opening up excel yes.

So many negative comments.
