> Can you imagine if the beginner version of Node.js came pre-installed with a GUI for managing and running your code?
It doesn't even need to come pre installed, as long as the GUI could install node almost silently.
E.g. if VSCode had some intelligence built like when it sees package.json and would prompt "Would you like to install Node" and it would do it's magic if user wanted. Lots of small problems would need to be solved, like where to install it etc.
Great! I didn't know that. I did notice that if you write "python" on Command Prompt of fresh Windows 10, it throws you to the Microsoft Store to install python. Which is kind of cool too.
