See I’d use Notepad++ if I was coding or doing any kind of actual file editing.
However, when I’m at work and need to take a phone call, the tabs in Notepad and the auto saving are literally game changing for me.
That being said I haven’t bothered with the AI stuff in it at all, and it feels as usual, Microsoft doesn’t stop when they have a Good Thing already, they keep pushing it beyond that point for their interests. And now we’re left with not a basic editor but a personal assistant.
But that is literally what I use notepad++ for: tabs, keeping unsaved files (good for temporary things like reminders) and also because I swear it opens faster than notepad.
Personally I find that feature (including tabs in general) very helpful and is something i’d expect from a text editor in the 20th century.
Just my opinion. To each their own, but just wanted to share that it might also be many others’ opinion too.
I like how the tabs save when I close notepad. Its super helpful when I just need to jot down some quick notes or a serial number or something.
And I’m really dumb so I often close my notepad window before I’m done and this feature has saved me numerous times.
I don’t have copilot in my notepad tho. Which is good.
Meh, sounds like a worse version of notepad++, which has been very popular and reliable since the early 21st century.
If they make notepad more bloated than notepad++ then I’d use it even less.
But each to their own.

Long live Linux and freedom of choice.
