Is Microsoft not aware what Notepad is actually used for?

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 day ago

I assume this is supposed to get close to use it as a replacement for the discontinued wordpad.

Not writing or coding. No one uses it for anything except when Microsoft forces someone to use it as a default text editor.

Hard disagree, it's fantastic for dumping log info/code snippets into and stripping formatting off strings.

[–] tehn00bi@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I use notepad just about every day to dump some kind of information temporarily as to not cause a massive formatting fuck up in word or excel or whatever.

Ctrl + Shift + V strips all formatting and just copies it in as plain text

Wouldn't any text editor with a delinter be superior

Not every company allows uncontrolled software. Sometimes you have to live with the hammer you were given.

I don't know any software company that would not allow their users to have an IDE

Assuming you mean linter, why?
