It should never do any kind of parsing for any kind of file, irrespective of the file extension!
It's supposed to be a basic text file viewer / editor, not an alternative to WordPad or VS Code!
Not every app has to be everything for everybody.
We're in an era now where Calc.exe takes appreciable time to start and pops up HTTP web proxy authentication prompts on some networks.
It's just incredible to me the level of enshittification people just shrug off like it's nothing.
Just now, I'm trying to debug something in Visual Studio 2026. The debugger's "view list" control takes over 10 seconds to pop up a simple table of text.
Text! Tens of seconds! On a gaming/workstation PC!
