Too late.
However people using Windows and UNIX/Linux & embedded systems have been using free open source text editors on Windows for maybe 20 years?
Not all alternatives are free or opensource, but all better than Notepad.
Notepad++ can be customised for writing or programming. I like it so much I install it on every Windows PC I set up and now also run it under Wine on Linux.
I was trying to use Win10 on a Netbook/Tablet combo yesterday. No settings for keyboard touch pad which appears as a mouse only, yet slightest brush jumps cursor, or if both hands brush it zooms text in/out. So makes using ANY text editor impossible. Only solution is an external mouse and disable the "mouse" in drivers (which is the touchpad on the USB Keyboard dock).
Then in the middle of edit it rebooted and started installing updates. Even though on WiFi and set to "metered".
So the update to Notepad is FAR too late. They've broken Windows.
