    @gedankennebel You can use both for paths though

    You must exclusively use windows. In most programming languages the \ is an escape character, which makes cross-platform paths a pain in the but because for windows you have to put "\\" and everywhere else you put "/". Standards Microsoft, standards!

    @STRINIX What feels wrong about it? "\" feels wrong to me because I have to escape it. It is the escape character in many programming languages and operating systems. Windows is the outlier here.

    This is how I have to write paths in my software to be cross platform:
    Windows path:
    C:\\foo\\bar\\baz

    Everything else path:
    /foo/bar/baz

    In reality I use standard libraries to join the paths for me, but still, just a pain in the butt because Windows wanted to be a special snowflake

    @STRINIX the way it is here is exactly how I've typed that face since I first started using emoticons. :/

    @STRINIX plus, on the Google keyboard that came with my Nexus 6p, the / is on the first page of symbols, the \ is on the second one. It's like that on most phones I've used, so / is easier and faster. I type that emoticon all the time
