Notepad is, in fact, under active development. They recently upgraded find and replace so it works 90% of the time instead of 30% and added some annoying restore session by default feature. not to mention tabs

I hadn't noticed tabs! I'll have to check that shit out!

I'd never had an issue with find and replace, but then I tend to install notepad++ straight away.

I interviewed at Microsoft decades ago and found a bug in notepad during my interview when they gave me a laptop and asked me how I would test notepad.

Their faces indicated that this was not supposed to be a productive exercise.

I am forced to use windows 11 in some capacity for work and the notepad on it is actually really nice.
