Notepad was the only thing I liked about windows 11.
Getting maybe 20% of the features of Notepad++ standard was nice out of the box. For a fleeting moment, I almost kept it as my default.
Kate is a thousand times better than Notepad and Notepad++
I actually prefer having multiple windows (not split-view) so I can review things side by side. KATE removed the ability to open multiple instances last time I needed to use an editor. So, it's kwrite on Linux and notepad++ in windows.
