The only time it’s ever in the least bit slow to load is when it’s on a onedrive folder at work and Microsoft don’t cache it locally so there’s a delay getting the thing in the first place.
Does metapad have regex find and replace? If so, smaller and even faster is appealing.
WordPad writes fairly clean rtf. Word writes incredibly bloated messy rtf. No, I don’t want to use a .docx or .pdf generating library, I just wanna slap some strings together and have it come out ready to print yet editable by non techy users. I use wordpad to write my templates.
I use EditPadLite and have done for a loong time. It has regex find and replace, is fast and you can tell it to display word wrapped or not, numbered lines or not, font, size, colours, syntax highlighting scheme, all based on file extensions. I have it as my default text editor and for all kinds of other files as well as text.
If I want to do major coding, I fire up the IDE and choose from my recent projects, but if I want to quickly edit some xml or a single source file, I double click it and edit it in EditPadLite.
If you’re still on windows 10, notepad is fine, but you might not be getting security updates for the whole OS. If you’re on windows 11, notepad is annoying, bloated, has AI, and is a security risk. Also the OS updates you are getting might well be written by AI, and we all know how infallible AI is, right?

Donkey, horse.

Why wouldn’t he return illegally, commit crimes and get himself deported again?
You’re right, of course, but I really enjoyed “fubuciary”. It’s a deliblicious misplomuncitation.
Yeah, the idea of Amazon running my home security did NOT appeal to me. I went with another brand.
I think you left out hatred for the poor, contempt for anyone who isn’t a middle aged cishet white man, hypocrisy, bootlicking for billionaires, and a dash of hidden sexual predator. But yes, absolutely, lots of racism.
Why would musk stop his pet ai doing what he wants it to do? He’s never done that in the past.

Exactly. I wouldn’t touch a chromebook with a barge pole. Who wants Google to watch absolutely everything you do?
Remember that for Republicans: Every accusation is a confession.
You’d go trans for me? Sweet.
Can’t tell you how excited I am to read this headline, despite the feeling that I really oughtn’t count my chickens before they’ve hatched.
I think I’m falling in love with you. Is that gay?
Ah. I use regex replace every week with matching substrings a good few times a month. It’s not any slower to load than notepad and considerably less annoying.
