Lack of features

Sticky Notes became trash with the August 2016 update of Windows 10, which turned it into a "modern" app, and added useless and suspicious features like synchronization and telemetry. Therefore...

Not a "modern" app: you can obliterate all Metro apps from your PC
No taskbar icon: notes actually stick to the desktop
No synchronization
No telemetry
Not even an auto updater
No botnet: it's open source, you can trust this application
And most importantly: no ugly Segoe Script font
