    Then what is even Charactercountpad for?!

    Wordpad is the step after Notepad, not Notepad again.

          Just use VSCode ffs.

          Also, yes I endorse VSCode wholeheartedly but do whatever works for you.

          Notepad++ is fine for the vast majority of people.

              The fact that VS code runs on JavaScript is its strength not its weakness.

              But you do you, like I said.

              Edit: to the other person, whom I realized is just joking

              My point stands, I guess?
