It has tabs in explorer!! That's it...the only good thing. The start menu still flakes out and fails to search your apps. It's literally useless garbage until it decides to start working again. Meanwhile my flow is broken by navigating through the file system to start Visual Studio Code.

I thought that had been changed already.
As before, they want to make it Optional Until They Change Their Minds.
Windows 11 otherwise has the makings of a really nice OS. A real shame, because the only thing holding it back is Microsoft's absolute contempt for its customers.
It's not just Recall; it's the mandatory product telemetry, forced cloud integration, and everything else they've gone to special lengths to prevent users disabling or opting out of.
Recall's premise is great. But not something that should be coming from any third party.
I routinely run a screen recorder during dev to help with the process. Often testing a change results in a fleeting error message, or screen artefact that you notice in passing if you're lucky. But usually there are multiple things going on and you have no time to investigate.
Reviewing the screencast let's you at least see exactly what happened and substantially cuts down the time you need to get back on track.
Sometimes you make a couple of simple changes in the code and break something. Reviewing the screencast helps focus on those changes. Yes, you should be making mini commits, but come on...
