What I find funny is that even edit.com works with UNIX line endings. Even in its first release, when it was still part of QBASIC with the /EDITOR switch, which removes the program code checks since trying to make a plain text file in QBASIC would be a pain in the ass, but even with numerous error dialogs it would still be better than EDLIN.
Notepad is a derelict app left practically untouched since Windows 3.x - the only difference is that the one in Windows 98 and later lets you change fonts (in Windows 95 you were stuck with Fixedsys), and the Windows ME version removes the error dialog about it being unable to load files larger than 32KB (while closing automatically and opening the file in Wordpad since they didn't actually fix that). Also, the 3.x/9x/ME versions didn't support Unicode text files either.
