If you edit files once in a blue moon, `notepad.exe` is more than sufficient.

If you work with hundreds of files per day as part of your profession, you are going to want something a bit better. I wouldn't call it over engineering if it solves a real problem.

By the way, Notepad cannot display files with unix-style line ending, it doesn't keep indentation and it inserts BOM when saving file as utf-8.

You may be committed to dying on this hill, but keep in mind that corpses left behind stink up the place. Please have a care.
