It's still bare-bones by most standards, but Notepad has evolved a lot recently.

Seems like they're taking everything good about Notepad and flushing it down the toilet.

Sometimes you just need a dumb, text editor you don't have to fight to do what you need. e.g. if I'm editing a config file, I don't want my text editor's spellcheck or autocorrect fighting me.

So turn those features off. I just checked, there's a setting for both spellcheck and autocorrect.

Or just use wordpad instead of turning notepad into wordpad?

There’s a reason we opened notepad and it wordpad. Adding features and bloat to notepad removes that.
