I don’t understand why they don’t just acquire Notepad++ and replace Notepad with it.
Seriously, does the average Windows user even know Notepad exists, much less use it?
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 8y agoPlease don't. I like Notepad++ and would rather not see Microsoft UWP-ify it to death.
- bradford 8y agoMicrosoft employee here. I still regularly see engineers use notepad as the default text editor. back in 2001, I met a windows kernel engineer who used notepad as his primary source code editor. I don't really understand it but notepad still gets a lot of use from a wide range of people.
- mandeepj 8y ago> I met a windows kernel engineer who used notepad as his primary source code editor. oh man! He is missing out a lot. Notepad struggles a lot with edit history. Undo\redo is completely messed up. I try not to do with it. Gone through a really bad experience, many times.
