Notepad now supports AI features like Summarize, Write, and Rewrite on Copilot+ PCs, with no subscription required. If you have a subscription, you can seamlessly switch between local and cloud models based on your needs. If you’re not signed in or don’t have a subscription, you can use the local model to accomplish your tasks. For now, these features support English only, making premium AI more accessible and flexible for everyone.

And even then, Notepad++ is so much better than notepad anyway. It has more features and is still a better text editor than notepad ever was.
The whole reason I use notepad is because it’s super light on features. Text wrap + find and replace is all I need.
I’ve been using the bookmark line feature a ton recently, and I doubt that would ever hit standard notepad. So much easier to parse massive log files when you can remove anything that does or doesn’t match your search string.
