      I quit using notepad.exe when Win 2000 came out. So many better options were available at that time. No idea why someone would like it and still want to use at this day and age… 🤣

        You obviously do not work on customer systems 🙂

        You need to be able to rebuild the bootsector of a hardrive from memory with a keyboard in the wrong language using only notepad and cmd 😁

      • Its a intermediary that doesn’t have anything except basic text. Plus it opens in sub-millisecond times unlike the godawful shitshow that is Windows 11 Notepad (and paint is dogshit UWP app now too). It is useful for clearing formatting/markup, saving passwords and stuff in memory till I no longer need them, etc. Heavier editors exist, but none launch so fast or “just” do basic text with nothing fancy. Also, it opens literally any file you could possibly want. (at least it tries 😆)
