I don't find Notepad++ to be a good replacement for (the old) notepad, personally. It's too feature-filled. The big win of notepad was that it was genuinely minimalist.

    It may have features, but you don't need to use them - and at least for me it starts up very quickly and none of those extras get in the way.

If you dont need any of the ++ why would you use notepad++ over notepad?

    I think just about anyone can appreciate having multiple undos. And keeping your unsaved notes safe against crash/reboot.

    I do think notepad recently got those, but for a long time it was a compelling reason to use notepad++.

    And you can avoid copilot.
