I rage installed obsidian at work because of notepad. I wouldn't call it "perfectly fine" by any means.

Notepad is extremely slow and bloated. Obsidian loads faster and never loses scratch pad sessions (probably because they don't exist and are stored)

Obsidian is some massive electron app and runs better than notepad.

Fair, maybe i should have worded it notepad was perfectly fine. Havent touched the win11 version for 2 years now.

My company discontinued access to notepad++. Fortunately, that same week they added vs code. If stripped to the bare minimum it's a serviceably fast text editor. (FOSS has to be approved by IT)
