Comment on In 3.5 years, Notepad.exe has gone from “barely maintained” to “it writes for you”

This is a concept that is not even in the vocabulary of IT companies these days and I can understand it for complex systems that have dependencies up the wazoo but notepad was just a notepad and that was good enough.
