You probably wouldn’t like 20 year old Notepad’s habit of leaving Unicode BOMs everywhere, or only supporting CRLF line endings. They did improve it a tiny amount circa Windows 10.

Does Windows 11 Notepad still choke on loading large files?

I used notepad for quick edit of simple files OR copy pasting and removing formatting.

Copilot excluded, who decided that it was a good idea to have multi tab notepad that remembers unsaved files between executions ?

"We solved that, just go into settings to toggle that behaviour !"

Who decided that notepad had to have a full settings page ?

"Just use the feedback hub" ?

So basically, you removed Wordpad and now regret this decision and are slowly turning notepad into Jeff Raskins' Archy ?

I actually liked some of the addictions to notepad, like tabs, reopen files, keeping unsaved files, and the unsaved changes indicator in the tab.

But I think formatting, grammar and ai are going too far for notepad, if I want to do something that need those I would use Word.
