Comparing Windows uninstallers, getting upset and then deciding to make my own

Unfortunately for me, I couldn't just let this one go.

I tested all the popular Windows uninstallers and I didn't like what I saw. I thought many of these programs had some rudimentary issues with their user interface, and they just didn't work that well.

How difficult could it really be to do something better?

As it turned out, it was very difficult, actually.

It's 2023, and Windows users still cannot centrally manage their software. People have to create multiple uninstaller programs to finally make a decent one, and not only does it need to uninstall applications, it also needs to somehow find all the garbage files and registry keys these applications barf all over the system.

We deserve so much better than this trash.
