This is a bad rant. Nvim has markdown format rendering too, does that make it worse? I’d say the markdown rendering was a good update, because now my tech illiterate coworkers can open the .md files I sprinkle everywhere and see them as their meant.

No, the true madness is the advent of tabs that stay open until explicitly closed, even if the program is terminated, and come back when you open the app from scratch.

At least Nvim allows me to turn that shit off, select a plugin that matches my preferences, or program a keyboard shortcut to toggle rendering on and off. The MS Editor just unilaterally decides that your file should now end in .md, because it contains what MS considers markdown formatting, as if there's no way a plain text file could contain lines beginning with # (although, granted, you have to press one of the formatting buttons first, before the editor switches to "markdown mode" and starts behaving that way).
