I like EmEditor, it has a compact ui and some useful features, and 16TB file support -- https://www.emeditor.com/

The whole point of Notepad was its bare bones simplicity. EmEditor looks like it’s loaded full of stuff, and has a subscription fee.

Assuming most people don’t need to open 16TB files, they might as well use VS Code.

You're not wrong, and I could have elaborated. While loaded with stuff, I find the ui can be pared down, and has a similar load time and screen space as notepad.

The subscription isn't awesome, but it works fine without it, and doesn't pester alot
