Maybe they're worried about bootleg copies floating around, which could have been hacked.

- don't want bootleg copies of anything

Whatever you personal preference is on a text editor is it in my weapons list for writing code. Something I cannot do without.
Ultraedit, textpad, notepad++
All banned.

I've got used to notepad, but the only annoying feature is the kerfuffle each time one tries to save a file containing non-ASCII characters. Why can't it have the option of simply switching to UTF-8 by default if necessary?

Trying to do stuff with notepad is a joke. Praise The Lord I am moving to a hedge fund.
