    I rage installed obsidian at work because of notepad. I wouldn’t call it “perfectly fine” by any means.

    Notepad is extremely slow and bloated. Obsidian loads faster and never loses scratch pad sessions (probably because they don’t exist and are stored)

    Obsidian is some massive electron app and runs better than notepad.

      My company discontinued access to notepad++. Fortunately, that same week they added vs code. If stripped to the bare minimum it’s a serviceably fast text editor. (FOSS has to be approved by IT)

      Obsidian loads faster then notepad? Thats surprising, considering its a full blown markdown editor with plugins and tons of features.

      But yeah, Microsoft stopped caring about windows speed and quality long time ago.

        It’s completely shocking to me, something is fatally wrong with native windows applications
