A spell checker is pretty useless. It’s not a word processor. I just want to very quickly open a text file and perhaps make a small edit. I would usually use it for config files.
Syntax highlighting for xml, JSON, yaml and CSV would be a much more useful feature. gEdit on gnome really nails the lightweight but useable text editor.
Also, would it kill them to use a rolling buffer instead of loading and rendering an entire 500MB file before rendering the first 30 lines on screen?
People say “just use [editor]”, but it’s no good when you’re configuring someone else’s prod environment 7 proxies deep, and all you can use is notepad.

Yeah big booooo here. They already have wordpad with this, and surprise surprise noone uses that shit.
Wordpad has been deprecated
No way!!! It was the only way to render RTF/Word , without word!
