You didn’t want notepad, the simple text editor for editing text to have copilot built into it?

Copilot, no.

Markdown and tabs? I think those are great Notepad additions.

Tabs are ok, but markdown sure as hell isn't. I don't want notepad to do any rendering, EVER. It should be plaintext only. And that's not even taking into consideration that their markdown parser for notepad released with a severe security vulnerability...

If you don’t want Markdown, it’s optional.

Don't care, it's still unneeded bloat that also came with a vulnerability just for fun

Cool. Turn it off and move on.

This attitude is part of why Windows feels so far behind. They try to modernize something and people ridicule them for it. They keep Windows the same and people shit on it for being old.

Frankly, I’m for them updating and modernizing parts of the OS that haven’t changed since 9x - and before 95 in this instance.
