It's still bare-bones by most standards, but Notepad has evolved a lot recently.

Can't just have a basic system utility that does what it needs to and no more, like *nix OSes do. No, gotta bloat up and enshittify everything no matter how mundane. We didn't need you to turn Paint into a half-ass shitty Photoshop, and we don't need this either. That's what a word processor is for.

I shouldn't have to install a 3rd party text editor on every server I spin up or new laptop I deploy.

Do you really leave Windows with default-everything whenever you deploy a Windows machine?

You do with *nix already.
