Maybe I wouldn't have felt the need to buy 32GB of RAM if things were properly coded? It also worries me because if a simple program like Notepad is this bloated, what else in Windows is poorly written? One program not being very performant is one thing, but this seems like a trend and I wouldn't be surprised if a large portion of software from Microsoft is extremely poorly written and could be way better. "It's not a big deal because I got 32GB of memory in my desktop" is not a valid excuse when devices with very limited amounts of CPU and RAM resources are being pushed. It worries me because, with the push for ARM devices, things need to be optimized. It uses about 3 times as much RAM as Notepad++ (a far more advanced program) and around 10 times as much RAM as the old Notepad.

Several users have already reported much longer startup times (instead of being instant it sometimes takes a couple of seconds), and the memory usage is through the roof. It worries me that so few people, including Microsoft, seem to comment or care about the significantly worse performance this update brings.
