What a bad take. Notepad was never meant to have formatting, as the post states. Notepad's purpose was to open war text files as raw text. For formatted text, there was WordPad. What made notepad great is that it was the fastest and easiest way to just know what is in the damn file.

Yes! Leave notepad alone. I don't need to load fucking Word when I just want to quickly type out some bullshit that I'm going to reference a few minutes later and then not bother to save. Notepad has always been the fastest, most responsive and reliable tool in windows that I (and probably a lot of people) use every fucking day.
