Programming against a fragmented moving target like the different versions of the shell subsystem that are out there is some of the most difficult programming there is. If the feature you are looking for is "most basic and fundamental" then why haven't you already found it in another program?
I think the programmers have done an excellent job, it is fast and stable, by far my favorite shell add-in. Even over Dropbox, it lets you create workspaces that you can associate with a certain type of task: like checking in code. So when I need to check-in code, I have a layout with all the windows I need positioned where I need them so I don't have to shuffle around the right windows.
Windows 10 desktops don't let me do that because I'd have to recreate the right desktop on each reboot, instead of having a hotkey in muscle memory so I can think "check in code" and bring up the desktop with all the programs I need.
Beautiful work, not even Mark Russinovich has been able pull that off.
