exactly...
IMO, a user is more abpt to work well and fast with the tools that they're accustomed to, if anything, introducing new tools will cause things to take longer as they have to get used to the new fangled tool/options.
The only thing in notepad/wordpad that can be updated that would be of any use to me would be if they where to add line numbering; everything else i can add myself (html code, php code, hex colors, etc)
