Yeah, at this rate by the time they finish the new text editor we won't be printing drawings. 😞 Fwiw, I've been told that it is a harder problem than we appreciate because text is deeply ingrained in many parts of the software. Doesn't change the user experience now to hear that or for the last 15 years though.
For the text and zooming issue: always use Zoom to Sheet before editing text.
I've never completely been on board with "no plot", even in AutoCAD. I do understand why people want it but there is usually a better way to deal with the task. For example if you want no plot notes, use a Note family (Detail Items) instead that can be filtered out at print time with a No Plot filter applied to that category with specific (parameter) criteria "no plot". If we are taking full advantage of view templates we can toggle that on or off pretty easily now at plot time.
I prefer to use coordination views for notes that a team needs to review. Those don't get printed at all, just an internal tool. If the notes are more like redlines then the Detail Items approach can work but so could DWF markup process could provide that. The Detail Items can also be scheduled now so you can provide a summary of coordination issues that have been internally observed too. A little planning and setup provides more consistent and reliable results. I realize that's not how everybody looks at it.
