Thus ending our long national nightmare of accidentally opening things in WordPad on a fresh install.

I thought the point of notepad was to open quickly and do quick changes without having to open a more heavy duty editor.
To be fair, on modern systems it does open quickly in spite of it’s size (probably because most of the shared libraries for UWP apps are already loaded in memory). And at the moment, the new Notepad doesn’t offer any additional features which are common in heavy duty editors, so the “bloat” is mostly from an engineering standpoint. Well, I guess with the recent unwanted addition of Bing search, we’re now starting to see signs of actual user-facing bloat.
I’ll just install Vim with Chocolatey.
Windows is getting almost as user friendly as Linux
