Personally, and I imagine for other people, it's more just having the ability to choose taken away.
I think for the average consumer, the system is fine but for power users or developers, it just sucks having that control taken away.
From what I understand, there have been a lot of cases where prompts are easy to overlook and time out, restarting a users computer for updates while in the middle of working.
That said, it looks like the upcoming creators update will allow you to choose the time of restarts but not what updates you receive. If you could choose your updates, this file explorer thing wouldn't probably be as big of an issue since you could just opt not to install whichever update adds it.
Of course, future updates might/probably would require it and eventually you might have to but it just feels shittier than paying for the OS outright and having control to accept or deny whatever you like.
Personally, I use Habitica for task tracking and habits. The nice thing is it's open source with a wide variety of extensions.
I use the Github plugin myself where each time I push to repo or create/close an issue, it triggers a +1 on a habit (which results in Gold and XP) so indirectly, perhaps you might enjoy it?
I always forget about it then an pleasantly surprised to see a heap of gold + level ups later that day
As someone who worked on an open data toolkit here in New Zealand, you also wouldn't have any clarity on "shadow users" either when it comes to non-economic returns.
For our initial prototype, we originally forked your docs repo and heavily modified it which got us up and running quicker than if we had started from scratch!
That said, we ended up switching to another setup later on but still, it would've been painful without your open sourced works!
As much as I like the idea, I can already see someone called "Drumpf" on the front page linking attributes about Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump to their Twitter accounts and not their names. I guess if you're after "everything" then curation makes no sense but you'll end up with a bunch of nonsense.
