If you're going to mess with Notepad, why not add adjustable tab-stops?! That would be useful.
And maybe a recent file list -- why didn't you add that?
(I just began using a Windows 11 laptop.)

I actually like Win11's Notepad. It's quick and useful for ya know... taking down quick notes. It's not meant to be a programming tool.
What do you hate about it so much... given the fact it's meant to be quick and dirty for taking notes?
The theme? Tabs? It doing a soft close like Sublime? Notepad pee in your cheerios or something?

Tabs mostly, but now that I know about them, maybe I can get out of the habit of using the X in the upper-right corner -- which has been the way to do it for decades!
Oh, you dirty dogs! So now I see how to switch from "Continue previous session" to "Start new session and discard unsaved changes". 
A text editor does not have "sessions", dagnabit!
I see nothing useful added. Adding useful stuff would be worthwhile.
And I still need to find out how to have proper square corners on windows.

Ah, I forgot to address that. Yes, quick, dirty, notes -- all day long. So features which enhance that -- such as adjustable tab-stops have been needed from the very beginning. Even a VT100 doesn't enforce eight-space TAB stops!
Anyway, other than simple notes, I also use Notepad for XML, HTML, and simple C# utilities -- and the existing TAB functionality hinders all off that. Not a big deal, but irksome when I naturally hit TAB. And read-me files too.

Again, Notepad isnβt designed for devs. So, pay a few bucks and start using Sublime. Donβt know why devs are so cheap when it comes to software. Yeah, tab alignment is whack in Notepad, but no need to get worked up over it. Nobody shot your dog man.

It's just a nice-to-have, been using forever, and wrote my own editor which has features probably no one else wants.
Just irked that they keep adding useless crap and don't address something which would be useful.

You don't need a recent file list if you use the jump list on the taskbar icon.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.
|
|
|
|
|
Which I don't. I don't particularly want a recent file list either, but it would make more sense than the changes which were made.
|
|
|
|
|
Just wait 'til you see the new cmd.
|
|
|
|
|
"Terminal"? Yeah, I set it to console mode. It's why I want my square corners back. The round corners clip the bottom line.

notepad++ or sublime. Has had anything from Microsoft completely outclassed for at least 10+ years.
Meanwhile, Microsoft goes out and dicks with the task bar and the file explorer popup menu because.... well, just because.

Youβd think MS treating us like data pawns would be the real concern. π€£π€£

No.
charlieg wrote: outclassed
Don't care, I just want simple.
I will likely install the editor (simple IDE) I wrote about ten years ago. It has (most of*) the features that I want, and nothing I don't want.
* I don't think I have a version which supports sorting selected text.

Notepad++ will do that.
Also good columnar blocking.
It's fast, not quite as snippy as notepad, but not at all slow to start and it won't freeze for 30 minutes if you open a 300MB data file.
I still use regular notepad for some quick/dirty stuff, but if they've made it soft-close that is going to become a delete/uninstall/rename the .exe or something for me most likely. Most of what I use it for are things I explicitly do not want hanging around in a notepad++ tab or anywhere else in memory.

Don't care. Not gonna use it.

At least they made it configurable.

It's a slippery slope.
The way I see it, Notepad has always been little more than a multiline textbox wrapped in an app that has save and load capabilities. For the most part, the Notepad "features" are really features of the Win32 textbox control itself.
If they start adding "just one more tiny feature", it'll end up being bloated, take forever to load (the biggest offender IMO), and a monstrosity nobody will really be happy with.
No thanks. They have VS Code for that.
