lennybird, Honestly, this blows. WordPad fills a niche between a full blown text editor and notepad. Most of my random daily notes use WordPad still when not OneNote.
royalbarnacle, I don’t get why they aren’t retiring notepad instead. WordPad is just as light and fast while having more features.
Not that I really care, I never touch either ever since MS basically stopped developing them 25 years ago. Notepad++, atom, etc, there are so many superb lightweight editors out there.
AxleGrinder, Probably don’t use Atom though seeing as it was sunset at the end of 2022
BeardedGingerWonder, Notepad is absolutely a fantastic tool for stripping any formatting from text and loading a file exactly how you expect it. Like vim only without the easy to use shortcuts.
aidan, I recently started using a markdown based note taking program called Joplin, that might be useful for you
abcxyz, Check out Obsidian ;)
spader312, I love obsidian too!
prole, Notepad++ was a good alternative when I was running Windows
Buffalox, That’s an alternative to Notepad, not for Wordpad that has basic word processing formatting.
SeatBeeSate, You can likely still grab the exe and use it
afraid_of_zombies, Wow someone was using this?
Forcedlurker, Unpopular opinion, I never used WordPress.
sndmn, Irrelevant opinion too.
SocialMediaRefugee, I use textpad for helping with coding and note keeping. No goddamn text formatting, just plain ascii with windows or unix line endings. Quick and easy macros, etc.
Smacks, They must not be able to spy on people thru it
gataloca, A good alternative is abiword. Don’t know if it exists on Windows tho.
draxil, it does
cake, Off to the retirement home
Kodemystic, oh no, anyway
Declamatie, Another advertisement for Linux…
nutsack, thanks for nothing, hitler
ameliawilliams, Not a huge problem for me: (1) Never really used wordpad. (2) Used WordPerfect from 1999-2003 (3) Used Open Office and Libre Office since 2003 (4) I use Linux now
