    It has already become bloated, I wouldn’t be surprised if crashes and hangs come next.

    Old Notepad vs New:

    • RAM usage: Doubled (1.6 MB -> 3.4 MB)
    • Disk usage: 10x increase (356 KB -> 3 MB)
    • Number of files: 27x increase (1 file -> 27 files)

      I use notepad almost daily and I haven’t noticed any crashing or slow downs. Not all increases in size are bloated I find many of the features they added to be extremely useful and 3MB is hardly consequential
