idk why but the AI integration into Notepad makes me always laugh. Its a perfectly fine pre-installed text editor which just does its job to occasionally open a textfile or to eg quickly edit two lines in an .ini. Its biggest new feature in 20 or 30 years was the addition of tabs with Win11. But beyond that its almost useless. If you want to do anything more involved you better download one of the many alternatives with actual features to get shit done.
Its just so nonsensical to me to add AI to this class of product. Why? Same with paint. Paint is fine for what it is. But what the fuck am i supposed to do with AI in such a simplistic program? Its so stupid.
They are so so desperate to find a use case to this trash tech they dump billions into and ruined all their other software offerings for, with no outlook for profit yet.
Actually, they have 2 Outlooks, and neither of them are working.
I believe there are three products called Outlook, actually
Wait, what's the third?
I rage installed obsidian at work because of notepad. I wouldn't call it "perfectly fine" by any means.
Notepad is extremely slow and bloated. Obsidian loads faster and never loses scratch pad sessions (probably because they don't exist and are stored)
Obsidian is some massive electron app and runs better than notepad.
Fair, maybe i should have worded it notepad was perfectly fine. Havent touched the win11 version for 2 years now.
Obsidian loads faster then notepad? Thats surprising, considering its a full blown markdown editor with plugins and tons of features.
But yeah, Microsoft stopped caring about windows speed and quality long time ago.
It's completely shocking to me, something is fatally wrong with native windows applications
