The only reason I use Notepad is that it opens instantly. A fancy think with loads of features that's slow to open should be a new product.

That was WordPad, right? Except it also loaded instantly, probably.

  • Wordpad was good for some stuff, I forget what, iirc it loaded in 0.1 seconds vs 0.01 for notepad.exe

      It was a proper WYSIWYG editor working with rich text, effectively a poor man's Word.

      Microsoft should have turned it into a markdown editor, instead of killing it.
