May I suggest Zim for basic notetaking and personal documentation? Since trying it I rarely go back to Notepad. It autosaves, stores notes in a hierarchical hyperlinked structure like a wiki, and has basic formatting like Wordpad.
It fills the gap of a featureful notes organizer without being quite as complex as Notepad++. (which I use for coding)
There is even an option of chucking it online if you know what you're doing, so you can access your "wiki" from anywhere like Evernote. (but without a central server - you have to host it yourself)
Notepad.exe has been vastly more useful to me both professionally and in my personal endeavors.

Nope, notepad does exactly what I need and doesn't have any extra moving pieces. The features you are pitching are only downsides for my use case.
seems like a good allotment of features... however, also seems kinda big for a notepad. how long does it take to open?
I've been using it for years (on Linux) and it opens immediately, no noticeable delay, contents of the window are also immediately loaded.
