My predictions Sometime within the next 2 years, Microsoft will release Word3D, which will be a text editor written in Electron and which will consume 100MB of memory to edit a 1KB text file.

Aren’t we talking about WordPad, not NotePad? I don’t think editing images is basic functionality for most users!
It's wordpad and notepad. The stuff paint does is basic functionality. Sometimes you need to crop or resize an image or draw a box.
Thanks God Microsoft wisely resets my default away from irfanview when they (force) upgrade my OS!

But paint is the default app for opening images, because of course, if you want to go through your 1200 holiday pics, you want to open them one by one in paint one after the other! Thanks God Microsoft wisely resets my default away from irfanview when they (force) upgrade my OS!
They're really pushing the Paint3D app, the Mixed Reality Viewer and the Photos app to take over Paint's roles and beyond. As for Wordpad they probably will deprecate and disable to gently nudge people to online Office 365 cloud subscriptions. Another reason I suppose is to decouple these apps from Windows system so their replacements can be updated through the store instead of waiting for OS feature updates.

Back in the 90s I used to make fun of emacs for being a text editor that took up 20MB of disk space.

Visual Studio doesn't run in Wine as far as I know.
VSCode is cross platform, what does Visual Studio do that it can't?

Can you do assembly view and memory editing in VS Code by the way? I honestly don't know.

Notepad is one of the most used programs on my machine.
I only have three applications permanently pinned to my Taskbar and one of them is Notepad. I use it almost thoughtlessly as a scratchpad, clipboard cleaner, note taker.
The email app then formats it OK, and you have a local copy that can be found & opened without a word processing app.

If you are writing .net core sure. Otherwise you are going to hit issues building and debugging. Why you would be attempting that outside of a Windows VM, I'm not sure.
