I took one look at notepad++ and deleted it many years ago because the interface was cluttered and ugly. Notepad is fine for simple use cases.

> Notepad is fine for simple use cases.

Maybe now, I'm told it has been improved in windows 11. But for decades, it was the only "mainstream" text editor I'm aware of that didn't have multi-level undo/redo (that is, it remembers your last action, and that's it). The fact that it stuck around this long without that feature is amazing, really.

It's use is really limited to modifying ini/properties files, unless you really hate yourself (and many of us did in the 2000s with our "made in notepad" website banners)
