    • Keeps your progress if you exit without saving
    • Supports tabs so you don’t have 5 separate notepad windows open
    • syntax highlighting for programming languages and markdown format
    • plugin support
    • can handle extremely large text files (I’ve opened 50gb text files and used ctrl+f to find terms and it worked fine)
    • superb tools for manipulating text (e.g., use reg expressions). Super easy and flexible in making mass edits.
    • dark mode support. That alone makes it superior lol

    If you just need a quick window open to make a note you might actually prefer Sticky Notes over Notepad!

      Just to point out that on Win11, Notepad also:

      • Keeps progress without saving
      • Supports tabs

      I use a bunch of text editors / note taking apps regularly (or semi-regularly) and Notepad is one of them (among others also Notepad++, VSC, Obsidian, Geany, Notion…).
