I know what you mean.

I understand why people would like it, but there are bugs in different places and it wastes more time for me having tabs when some very good workflows involve having numerous distinct instances of Notepad on different parts of the monitors instead.

In a way where it was absolutely perfect for the longest time.

It still works like that but combined with autosave you really have to check a lot to make sure the file is not already open in another instance or different tab lots of times.

Or your previous message(s) pops up every time you open Notepad days or weeks later.

Even though for like 40 years when you opened a new instance of Notepad, you could reliably expect a blank text window.

And when you double-click on a TXT file, you want that file to open without having some other text on some other tab that came from somewhere else you might not remember that well.

So it's like it has Recall already built in, the AI has not even been injected yet, and it autosaves everything you type now by default.

No resemblance to a keyboard logger or anything like that, nothing to see here, nope, au contraire.

I guess that's why they're going to call the next level Rewrite.

I can't wait, in just like the last year, for the first time ever it's already way less usable than in W9x, but what can you expect anyway?
