The reality is that MS has not updated the GUI for setting PATH since Windows 3.1 as far as I can tell. It sucks.
Actually, Windows 10 (or at least Windows 10 with the latest updates) introduced a much, MUCH nicer interface for PATH editing.
Here's a screenshot: http://snag.gy/WH4Oj.jpg
With this interface, one can edit individual entries (an edit to the Python 2.7 \Scripts folder in the system PATH is in progress in this screenshot), use the browse button to select new folders via GUI, tweak the order of the list, easily remove entries, and so forth. The details of the plaintext version of PATH that one would use at the command prompt are hidden behind the "edit text" button. I recently performed a massive cleanup to my PATHs after discovered this new interface, and it was really easy.
I noticed that last month, and it's a good thing, but universities and companies are not going to upgrade for years (if they do it at all). Most of my students, when using windows, are using Windows 7. A few is running Vista or 8. Sometime, I meet some XP (yeah, I know). I only met one using Windows 10, and it was his own laptop.
Plus fixing a way to fix a problem is, while improving the situation, probably not the best way to look at the situation.
