If you aren’t using an insider edition then Notepad is still safe

... for now. They've already replaced the old Notepad with a bloated UWP version, so it probably won't be long before it starts sending telemetry as well.

bloated?

I think then new Notepad is just perfectly fine.

The tabs are nice, but I notice it takes 3x as long to open (TBF it's still under a second) and take up 10x the memory (12MB vs 1.2MB), for basically doing the same thing as the old version.
