Why not Notepad (Windows) or TextEdit (Mac)? I use both extensively. I keep folders for projects, and use these to drop notes into the folder. A word processor is overkill and takes too long to load, but I usually manage these projects from Windows Explorer or Finder so I don’t want to drop into CLI to use Vim or use GUI Emacs. Nice to stick to the GUI stuff when in there and leave the terminal for the heavy duty.
