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

Its not even wordpad. It only supports markdown not rtf... it only exists so they could easily shove copilot into it.

    I get the saltiness about Copilot but this is getting ridiculous.

    It got dark mode, sessions, tabs, and a Markdown viewer. How are these bad changes? How do these "only exist so they could easily shove Copilot into" them?

    (btw, you can disable Copilot from Notepad with three clicks)

    Notepad was supposed to be the simplest lightest weight text editor. It didn't need to change.

    Let's try from a different angle: which functionalities of Notepad have been lost?

    Well I'm not on Windows anymore so I can't test it out. Does it still have the option to only show text raw and uninterpeted? I absolutely would not want it to, like, show bold instead of **bold**

    I wouldn't want it to do anything other than show the literal text, and anything in that direction is a loss via added friction.

    1. You have to manually switch the display mode from raw to formatted for the formatting to show.
    2. It only works for saved .md files.
