Notepad is literally just the Windows EDIT control with some trivial code to transfer the data in it to/from files, and a menu to change some of the edit control's options.

I don't think it needs much improvement, really. Anything besides fixing bugs in its own code (i.e. this "extended line endings support" is in the edit control) would go against its core principle. There's Notepad++ and all the other "heavier" editors if you want more features.
