Notepad had one job. Operate on a damn text file. Operate on the damn text files I choose.
I knew it was going down the drain when I reopened Notepad and it opened the files that were previously open. No. Don't do that. That's overly helpful. You were only supposed to operate on the damn files I chose. These files I'm about to work with aren't necessarily the files I previously worked on. If I want this functionality I might as well open it in vscode.
I'm, like, screw it, might as well keep Emacs running if I need random temporary text editing.
Personally I find that feature (including tabs in general) very helpful and is something i'd expect from a text editor in the 20th century.
Just my opinion. To each their own, but just wanted to share that it might also be many others' opinion too.
I like how the tabs save when I close notepad. Its super helpful when I just need to jot down some quick notes or a serial number or something.
And I'm really dumb so I often close my notepad window before I'm done and this feature has saved me numerous times.
I don't have copilot in my notepad tho. Which is good.
The best part is that it even retains unsaved documents (and unsaved changes in existing ones), which makes it very feasible to use Notepad as sort of an extended clipboard. Surprisingly good thinking for Microsoft.
