Regular notepad is starting to get a LOT more features. I could see notepad essentially filling that void if they keep up the pace.

I absolutely love the multiple tabs and automatically preserving unsafe stuff.

At the same time, if I open notepad I've got like 400 pages of unsafe craft sitting around. Still worth it though.
