Picture of text written in Notepad: STOP UPDATING NOTEPAD. TEXT WAS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE GIVEN UNORDERED LISTS. YEARS OF DEFAULT APP yet NO REAL-WORLD USE FOUND FOR BASIC FORMATTING OPTIONS. Wanted to format anyway for a laugh? We had a tool for that: it was called "WORDPAD". "Yes please give me LINKS in my file. Please give me HEADERS." - Statements dreamed up by the utterly Deranged. LOOK at what Microsoft has been demanding your Respect for all this time, with all the programming language & technology we built for them (This is REAL Notepad, made by REAL Microsoft): ??????? ?????? ???????? "Hello I would like TABLES in a future update" They have played us for absolute fools

So… they removed Wordpad to push people into using Word… and now they removed Notepad to push people into… this monstrosity? Why does Notepad support hyperlinks now?

Back when I used Notepad, it was to strip out rich text formatting and reliably get consistently distinct text, especially if I configured it to use a monospace font. Now I have to worry about embedded hyperlinks sending me to God-knows-where?
