I mean you're right, but also look at what emacs or vim are doing on the linux side. Overloading your notepad application is hardly a concept birthed on Windows.

I'd argue the Linux equivalent is more something like nano, and I wouldn't say nano is overloaded

Are you saying that extensibility is the same thing as bloat? Weird take if so.

Vim has kept to simple sanity.

We don't talk about LazyVim.

Edit: I heard Emacs might be getting a text editor added soon.

I'm not so sure about that. Vim has syntax highlighting, programming language support (assisted via ctags), two terminal emulators, a window manager, two (arguably three) programming languages, transparent remote file editing...

So anyway, I use an editor that doesn't waste my time: Ed, man! !man ed.
