But tabs were a great addon. Also, it can finally handle linux line endings (\n). Thats the two things I miss when using old versions of notepad.
But a spell checker? Why?!
It's an opportunity to monitor the contents of the file, and your keystrokes.
also killing wordpad and putting features from that to notepad means one less program to maintain, less expenses
How does the math work out on that? Both are fairly mature, I don't believe that either application takes a considerable amount of development effort to maintain. And taking features from Wordpad and putting them into Notepad has a time and effort cost.
