I wish Notepad would stay the most basic of editors. I mean, it did need a search/replace feature that worked like any other Windows app. Handling Unix line endings is a relief for everyone even if you don't use Windows at all. Once it got tabs and saved sessions, it was starting to resemble a real text editor, and it's just not necessary.

Let it be incredibly basic.
