When I heard they rewrote Notepad in JavaScript I knew we had entered the End Times...

Which is extra frustrating because I recall reading a Microsoft apology about how they could not easily add support for different line endings to Notepad. The software is so entrenched that they are terrified to edit it. Which, fine, maybe that is sort of justifiable, but seems like something that Microsoft has the resources to test.

A few years later, AI slop gets embedded into everything, reasonableness or performance be damned (the new Notepad is embarrassingly slow to launch with multiple visual glitches).

They put it in Paint, too. That's when I rediscovered Irfanview.

Apple has added it to textedit too with their equivalent intelligence enabled. You're throwing shade in the wrong direction.
