    In its current implementation, a note box basically is a 1-cell table. It's just a quick way to create a colored 1-cell table.

    Without this shortcut, you'd have to delete a bunch or rows and columns manually, which can be a pain if you do this often.

      The problem of being a 1 cell table is that the note is not responsive.

      On these days and age applications should be designed mobile (or tablet) first.
