Notepad had one job. Operate on a damn text file. Operate on the damn text files I choose.

I knew it was going down the drain when I reopened Notepad and it opened the files that were previously open. No. Don't do that. That's overly helpful. You were only supposed to operate on the damn files I chose. These files I'm about to work with aren't necessarily the files I previously worked on. If I want this functionality I might as well open it in vscode.

I'm, like, screw it, might as well keep Emacs running if I need random temporary text editing.

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 think I’d be able to agree with you if new notepad didn’t take a noticeable time to load. It used to be the 2nd fastest thing I could launch, after the Run dialog itself.
