The context menu in the Windows Explorer was introduced in Windows 95 – and was a great productivity tool.

Editing is the bread-and-butter business of PowerShell people. ISE was the way-to-go for a long time and now VS-Code is the standard.

Read Graham Beers blog on ZED and look beyond the border of the Microsoft ecosystem.
