It's completely inconsistent with traditional Windows design language and there's no "Cancel" button or an X in the corner to click on so you can't cancel out of it with your mouse and have to reach for Esc on your keyboard

It also tries to funnel you into a shitty Microsoft service

I don't understand why Powertoys isn't just part of the base OS. It's even developed by Microsoft.

I fully agree, though I believe PT and the addins are created and are curated by independent developers within Microsoft.

Seems to me that we’re lucky to have it at all haha.

The new best feature for me is screenshot OCR, the window manager is life, the launcher is good but win+r is still quicker most of the time for my usage.

Things like the explorer file preview are extremely buggy for me and I have to keep it disabled
