LEAVE NOTEPAD ALONE!

seriously though. I can't imagine anything I'd rather have be more basic than notepad. It's entire literal existence is to open, edit and save basic text files. There's zero need for additional features or updates.

I mean, I don't even see their precious AI in office yet, and they're getting hard over adding it to fucking notepad? I expected an AI powered clippy to return to office before this shit.

Throws table

I like the typical plaintext editors you get with any Linux distro, which can do stuff like syntax highlighting but are still light and fast.

I use notepad++ on Windows it's great.
