Microsoft is slowly removing features, but is it adding any notable features?

Here are some examples of features I would like to see:

- Native Markdown viewer and editor, to replace Wordpad

- Disk space manager - graphically show where my diskspace went; allow me to find and delete large files

- Restartable and reliable file copy (similar to rsync on Linux)

- Notepad with same features as textarea element in browser, including spellcheck, multilevel undo/redo, completion, etc.

- Printing that can stay connected to printers on my local network

- Dictionary app (MacOS has it)

- Air drop compatible with iPhone

- A screenshot tool that allows you to type text (in addition to circling and highlighting and arrows)

- No system processes that randomly consume high CPU

- Command-line zip

- Instant search (Mac has had it for how many years now?)

- Stock app (MacOS has it)

- Beautiful widgets (like the old Konfabulator) https://arstechnica.com/features/2005/06/konfabulator/
