What's wrong with tabs in notepad? I personally find them super useful.

  The article lists the features that require a subscription and it's just the generative AI. It also (shame on PCWorld) leads the article by listing the newer, actually useful features including spell checking and tabs, which is confusing for explicitly ragebaiting reasons.

  When I open the notepad I want a clean blank slate, not an accumulation of all the previous files I've opened with it. There's already a taskbar... which they also managed to screw up in Win11, so maybe the tabs are supposed to be a compensation? It's a stupid design either way.

    Did you know you could uninstall Notepad (Win11 Ai version) from Settings -> Installed Apps to restore notepad to the version we know and love (without tabs, AI)?

      One of the first things I did was revert that. It goes on the ever-increasing list of things that must be done whenever I'm forced to use Windows. The very first item on that list is "show file extensions and hidden files."
