Tabs and auto-recover are welcome additions (but still cannot compete with the likes of Notepad++).

  Tabs are fine I guess but also: it's NOTEPAD.EXE. Its purpose to be super primitive and launch in 2 milliseconds and give you a place to paste or type some text real quick. Anyone who needs a good text editor with actual features will just download the good text editor of their choice.

  > Tabs and auto-recover are welcome additions They were very unwelcome to me.

    Simple example of the newly poor UX. I try to start notepad to jot down some scratch. It sluggishly reopens whatever it previously had open (e.g. from before a reboot)...and in doing so, doesn't actually create a new document for me.

      That was the straw that broke the camel's back for me. For my use case, it rendered Notepad unusable.

      Then turn off session resuming? Turn off Copilot? They're options in the Settings menu, if you don't want them.
