The examples of what changed seem useful. Default save to UTF8, a "dirty" flag to indicate the file has changed and some new keyboard shortcuts are welcome changes. I don't see current line number in the status bar which I feel is sorely missing.

But other than that I really hope they don't change it too much more. I like the plain vanilla aspect of Notepad. If I need something fancier I have a lot of choices - the system I am using at work has GVim, MS Word, Wordpad and Notepad++ installed.

But if I just want to leave a note on my desktop, make a quick change to a simple text file or print some quick notes for a meeting or something I will always reach for Notepad first.

They "upgraded" calc in Windows 10 and I think it's kind of crap now. The interface is clunky and it's visibly slower than the old one. I hope they don't do the same to Notepad!
