It is not my intent to start a benchmarking series - but assuming that the core team develops on MacOS, I want to occasionally pitch in the behavior of Redwood on the Windows platform.
One of the worst mistakes a software development management team could make is to allow the developers to choose the development platform, making the product nearly untested on other platforms. As the VP of software development, I had to constantly push on ensuring equal coverage for all platforms of interest to our customers.
A few additional observations:
I have a pretty fast HP machine (32 GByte memory, 1 TByte SSD drive) so I am amazed to see that a 2019 MacBook Pro can delete the complete folder in 8 seconds (it takes 32.247 seconds on my machine). @Tobbe, can you please verify this once again.
Another attribute that surprised me is the size of the project on disk: 575 MB (602,992,640 bytes), The Nuxt hello world application has the size on disk 106 MB (111,890,432 bytes) and do not know enough about Redwood architecture to be able to say whether such comparison is even fair.
I was using cmder when reporting the above git syntax issue. Throughout several years this console behaves very well on Windows, although, the vscode console is at least as good. Note that the standard cmd behaves the same as cmder
I think I know what’s going on. You’re using cmd inside cmder, right?
I tried using cmd too, and saw the same issue you reported

Using PowerShell it works

So git-bash (mintty) and PowerShell both understand single quoted strings. The old cmd does not.
PowerShell is the default terminal in VSCode on a fresh install, so it would work there as well.
