Agreed. "Application\ Support" looks subjectively disgusting to me. It's the only path on my configuration with spaces. I have to use it because that's where vscode settings.json is placed.


If it helps, it may have been for a good reason. Microsoft used to name the folder that stored user directories "Documents and Settings" so developers would be forced to make sure they could handle paths with spaces in them. Now, they call that folder "Users", and I had to make sure when I set up my Windows install that my name didn't have spaces in it so a bunch of apps didn't get screwy.


Rest assured this is not subjective. It is objectively disgusting.
