Nothing. If people are protesting invasive bloat with by saying they’d rather have Clippy, I’d rather go back to Notepad.
However, it appears that Windows 11 notepad has fallen prey as well? Maybe then I need a profile pic of a needle and a magnetic plate…

They took a utility and turned it into an app.
M$ took the lightweight text editor that always worked and added bloat to it making it like a cross between the original and wordpad along with adding co-pilot.

I'm ngl this looks somewhat useful minus the copilot crap. Having lists and headers and so on are useful for actually taking notes.

The default is to keep every file open (like notepad++).
Thing is: Most use it as a temporary clipboard buffer. So now you have loads of passwords on some computer or PII.

I think if they kept the features but made it close everything by default it'd be pretty good (asking if you want to save before closing). I basically don't see a real reason to keep stuff open with apps like this, honestly.

I agree, as someone that was forced to use W11 work laptop. It also save states of the tabs open as long as you don't close the tabs and close the windows itself.
This is probably just MS catching up to plenty other FOSS programs though.
