There can be late night disaster recovery scenarios where logging into an under-resourced virtual machine and using Notepad to view a huge log file is the difference between success and failure. Failure can mean huge companies going under, life & death, suicides, end of careers, you name it. The new Notepad is not fit-for-purpose. You cannot use it to open a file several gigabytes in size. It'll just die, take minutes, fill memory, and even if it opens successfully, it'll be unusably slow. It's the Windows equivalent of 'vi'. It has to work, all of the time.
