    I couldn’t care less that the addition in question is AI related, it’s unnecessary bloat that no one asked for! I hate bloat, that’s my thing. I didn’t like when the start menu was ruined, I didn’t like when user accounts were eschewed for microsoft accounts, and I don’t like this.

    I’m completely off windows now anyways, so I don’t even have skin in the game. It just boggles my mind that anyone would defend this whacky decision. Streamlined bloat is still bloat.

    Why not just clone notepad and then start adding garbage? They already announced the intention to remove word pad, just replace that with whatever this ends up being!

      I wish people would stop putting words in my mouth. I would be quite happy to try this feature out, and I think it could be quite handy indeed. I literally said “I want to see Microsoft try it” in the comment you’re responding to.

      So what’s your problem? Don’t insist that everyone has to share your values and run their computers the way you would want to run them.

      I just linked to a whole pile of notepad clone projects. I’m sure some of them will satisfy whatever preferences any particular person has. “Why not just clone notepad” applies just as much to the people complaining about this features, and it’s already been done. If you want to stick with the unchanging bare minimum text editor, there they are.
