It’s still bare-bones by most standards, but Notepad has evolved a lot recently.

    Different OSes using different line endings is such a long standing and well known problem that I would only describe the bugs that come as a result as bad programming. Not even lazy programming, a lazy programmer uses a library that abstracts away these differences.

      I program embedded devices. There’s not often just a ready to go library for what you want to do when you’re doing bare metal. You’re given a C compiler with the bare minimums, and that’s it. You’re expected to mostly build what you need by yourself. That includes file-parsing routines. A microcontroller doesn’t even have any idea what a filesystem is unless you build one. I gotta do all that myself with an SD card through low level SPI stuff.

      On general purpose OSes, yes, you have a plethora of frameworks and libraries to choose from.
