I hated wordpad. New notepad is so much better than the old. An undo on old notepad would undo the last 1-7 sentences randomly, and wouldn't redo. Remembering notes is also good, and I love markdown.
I don't use the ai and it never was in the way of what I needed, so whatever.
The last time I used notepad the undo option worked both as undo and redo, since it only kept the latest change and undoing was also a change that could be undone.
I sometimes put together long bash commands to pull docker image updates. I would take five minutes building up a command, make a typo, pressed undo by muscle memory and most of what I typed out would be gone with no way to undo.
This was no one time occurrence, because I'm too lazy to pull up vscode or something else, it would be a weekly occurrence.
I cried when that old piece of junk updated to the new notepad. Never had that issue since.
