The Notepad line ending thing is kind of shameful but Notepad is ok for what it's supposed to do.

It truly is a Notepad. It launches quickly and has a non-nonsense interface.

It's not meant to be a programmer's editor. It never was, it never will be.

Agree 1000%! Was waiting for a comment like yours to help drive the case for some updates to Notepad to support NIX file endings, etc. ;)

Anyone running Win10 who wants to see Notepad support NIX file endings, PLEASE submit feedback via the feedback app - that way Notepad's owners get to see your pleas ;)

what feedback app?

I think it's available since the most recent stable Windows update - there's an app literally called "Feedback" you can use to report and upvote issues.

Unfortunately the Feedback Hub application requires me to adjust my system wide privacy settings to allow sending who knows what to Microsoft.

I suppose I could temporarily change the setting just to give line ending feedback for notepad.
