    Its not even wordpad. It only supports markdown not rtf… it only exists so they could easily shove copilot into it.

      I get the saltiness about Copilot but this is getting ridiculous.

      It got dark mode, sessions, tabs, and a Markdown viewer. How are these bad changes? How do these “only exist so they could easily shove Copilot into” them?

      (btw, you can disable Copilot from Notepad with three clicks)

          Let’s try from a different angle: which functionalities of Notepad have been lost?

            Well I’m not on Windows anymore so I can’t test it out. Does it still have the option to only show text raw and uninterpeted? I absolutely would not want it to, like, show bold instead of **bold**

            I wouldn’t want it to do anything other than show the literal text, and anything in that direction is a loss via added friction.

              1. You have to manually switch the display mode from raw to formatted for the formatting to show.
              2. It only works for saved .md files.

      True, but IMO it makes a lot more sense to support markdown under Wordpad than Notepad since the controls and doc-style layout/rendering support is already there.

      it only exists so they could easily shove copilot into it.
