I mean a decent text editor is contextual. Are we talking about Wordpad upgrades for office usage, a lightweight code editor, or something else?&lt;p&gt;Plus don&amp;#x27;t people constantly criticize Microsoft for bloat&amp;#x2F;adding stuff to the base OS? Now they want Microsoft to ship Windows 10 with e.g. VSCode out of the box?</text></comment>
