If these fuckers touch notepad I'll riot.
Actually that's not true, I'll just be quietly annoyed.
Just use notepad++?
And soon wordpad++?
Team Sublime!
They've already touched it. It has a new UI, new features, and has crashed on me multiple times. They're about to add AI shit to it too.
I've had no issues. I don't mind the tabs thing, because I'm the kinda buffoon who uses notepad like a notepad. Sometimes I close it and intentionally don't save only to later be like shit, wish I didn't do that, and now it's like I didn't!
When I inevitably have issues though I will join you in complaining, because why do they always have to mess with shit!
I use VSCode + Markdown for an actual notepad. The only thing I ever want from Notepad is to open a file as plain text, instantly, and let me read and search through the text, and maybe make a modification and save it. If I'm gonna be looking at the contents for more than 5 seconds it's already a good idea to be using a proper text editor.
if i had to use windows it'd be debloated 10
11 sucks
but linux is better than both
Why are you getting downvoted?
They already did. They added tabs to it, which honestly was a pleasant surprise but loooooong overdue. Apps like Notepad++ had stolen the reason for Notepad to exist long ago.
