That said what made things like Notepad so useful was, largely, the fact it had no bells or whistles. It was simple and lightweight, and did exactly what you told it to do, and nothing more. Exactly what I want to edit config files and the like.

Now it's almost a document editor that requires an M365 subscription... sounds familiar...

Notepad++ and Gimp will do me just fine.

I'd like to believe they're doing stupid shit like this because Linux distros are taking a bite out of them but I don't think that's the case quite yet.
