Notepad is, in fact, under active development. They recently upgraded find and replace so it works 90% of the time instead of 30% and added some annoying restore session by default feature. not to mention tabs
I can see a notepad update that quietly comes with a system update then turns on one drive without asking you and then uploading every text file on your computer to the cloud for them to train their bing AI bullshit on and scrape for data they can use to add to your advertising profile.
it will deprecate WordPad with a future Windows update as it’s no longer under active development
It doesn’t need “active development” because it is perfect the way it is. Unix/Linux has tons of useful programs that haven’t been in active development for 40-50 years.
I haven’t been using Wordpad for 20+ years. Notepad could do everything it does already. Then, you also have Firefox’s built-in inspect to tinker with code on the fly.
I wonder what changes they’ve made to wordpad over the last 10 years… how many people have been working on it and stuff.
This sort of implies that Notepad is still under active development. That’s weird to think about.

I hadn’t noticed tabs! I’ll have to check that shit out!
I’d never had an issue with find and replace, but then I tend to install notepad++ straight away.
I am forced to use windows 11 in some capacity for work and the notepad on it is actually really nice.
