I couldn't care less. I never used it. Was either notepad++ or office. I'm pretty sure with all the telemetry they have, they knew no one really use it anymore and it's not worth it.

I'm amazed I had to scroll this far too find any mention of notepad++

I mean Notepad++ is like a monument to Microsoft incompetence and them not caring about technically minded people for decades. Where a single guy beats trillion dollar company's ass, actually not just beats, absolutely destroys big time. And they were either not able or didn't care with responding and providing some power text editor. The fact that their OS was able to acquire any significant market share in developer's community is an ultimate triumph of marketing department
