I use Notepad as a quick journal throughout the day, I appreciate its simplicity.

But it really stinks they still don't have a basic "auto-recover" connected to it. When your computer crashes or loses power, an unsaved notepad will NOT be recovered like a Windows document, or Sublime, or Notepad++ file would.

I miss proper undo history. One undo is major reason I'm avoiding it.

Because notepad is meant to be... a notepad, not a full blown text editor.

A physical notepad doesn't get erased once I drop it. Sublime behaves much closer to the analogy than notepad in this regard (I can just scribble stuff down, forget about it for a month, and when I rediscover it I can still decide how to file it)

Do you mean "not a full-blown word processor"?
