If you're using the Slack app on Windows, it uses Squirrel. From memory the Atom Editor also uses Squirrel (and uses the Mac version of Squirrel on that platform).
Agree that WiX is horrible. We've got a few internal products that use it so I've spent some time with it. I try to avoid touching it unless absolutely necessary. My general workflow when modifying the WiX dialogs (wxs files) is a mixture of hand editing and modifications via WixEdit ( https://sourceforge.net/projects/wixedit/). Just saw https://sourceforge.net/projects/wixtrim/, when I went to the WixEdit page on SourceForge.
