Welcome to Programmer Humor!
This is a place where you can post jokes, memes, humor, etc. related to programming!
For sharing awful code theres also Programming Horror.
Its really a shame. Every OS needs a simple text editor, possibly without formatting support of any kind. You're not supposed to use it, it just makes it possible to edit basic configurations on the fly and things like that. Instead they support half of word pad and cram in copilot for some reason.
Although I do admit, I haven't seen the need to move away from kwrite for a long time. Basic text editor that does what it should and does it right!
Then just types into and don’t do any formatting. I use it daily at work for pasting text I want to keep. That’s it I type or paste I never save, I never click any menus etc.

Wasn't there a lurking edit.exe or edit.cmd somewhere inside C:\WINDOWS\system32? Would make an interesting replacement to the enshittified "Not-e-pad". But, then, I haven't used Windows since Windows 10 was still a novelty (and what definitely pushed me to Linux... Arch Linux btw), so maybe I'm very old ("I'm old, Dean, very old") to recall of a MS-DOS relic.
Org Mode shall set you free
Sublime ftw
Wordpad? I'll stick to Word Perfect 5.1, thank you very much.
As much as I liked old notepad, it is a pretty decent markdown editor.
I love most of the changes they made, but Copilot can fuck right off my Notepad. It's supposed to be fast and offline.
Oh god, nobody look at org-mode 😳
wait what the frick since when were they updating Notepad
Since Microslop Windooze 11:Enshittified Edition.
Win 11 has been a privacy/anonymity/usability nightmare. Thanks in no small part to MS enshittifying absolutely every corner of it with AI. Right down to grabbing it by the notepad.
So this is like Kate but for plebs?
Unironically the last straw in getting me to switch to Linux. Then a week later was the copilot vulnerability news
I still remember WordPad. It was Sooo fancy.
