Ahh… the new Notepad. It used to be a ~60kb executable that worked even on open files, enormous log files, or on servers on their last legs due to memory exhaustion. The new version takes a solid second to start up, can’t open a one gigabyte text file in under a minute, and can’t even align tabs and spaces despite using a fixed-width font. It’s the simplest text editor that is so slow that its menus visibly stutter and lag if you simply move your mouse. If Gates was still in charge he’d have summarily fired that entire team. If you want nice things, you can’t have nice people in charge.
