Notepad is indeed long established. But it's in active development.
OK, that's an exaggeration, but it is occasionally developed, despite its appearance not changing much in 25 years.
My favourite features it gained were support for Unix (LF) line endings, and support for normal UTF-8 (without a BOM).

That's why it can be fun to see that there are bugs in its implementation. It reminds me of this joke: Every program has at least one bug and can be shortened by at least one instruction — from which, by induction, every program can be reduced to one instruction which doesn't work.
