At least that’s one use case that Linux will always be awesome for - editing plain text without added bullshit (excepting any keyboard shortcuts you need to learn to save or exit, depending on your editor, lol).
And you can obviously do that on windows with any number of third party apps. But not having the basic clean text editor included in the base OS install just seems wrong.
Is nothing sacred?

And most Linux distributions have a simple text editor shipped with their desktop environment (i.e. Kate or GNOME Text Editor).
I use vim, but there are simpler editors if you want something CLI, like nano or pico.
