Notepad now supports AI features like Summarize, Write, and Rewrite on Copilot+ PCs, with no subscription required. If you have a subscription, you can seamlessly switch between local and cloud models based on your needs. If you’re not signed in or don’t have a subscription, you can use the local model to accomplish your tasks. For now, these features support English only, making premium AI more accessible and flexible for everyone.

One of the best features of notepad was that it starts quickly. That feature is now gone. :(

Tbf, some larger file sizes fucked notepad in the ass HARD. Notepad++ does everything right by me.

Yeah why is that? Decade after decade this never really improved. Trying to open a big file in notepad just always brought it to its knees. Why doesn't this shit bother anyone at Microsoft enough to write three lines of code to fix that?

Why does everyone assume that programmers can just go and fix stuff they don't like without getting shot down in performance reviews for lack of focus or for overstepping their authority.

We have a prioritized list of work items coming in from the PO and that's what we work on. There's generally no room for creativity. Supporting larger files in Notepad in particular would increase maintenance costs due to requiring much more complex memory management, and it would label you as not being a team player for increasing complexity for everyone.
