Slightly annoyed about this, as I do use Wordpad (it’s lightweight and useful for quick notes that I want to mark up with bold and italic). I don’t always want to watch Word or Libreoffice load for twenty to thirty seconds.
Yeah, when I want to just jot some words down quick in Windows, Wordpad has always been my go-to, but main thing for me is opening .txt files. Maybe I’m dumb and there’s some Notepad default layout thing I never bothered figuring out, but I don’t want to have to scroll right to read long lines of text.
I recently noticed notepad now displays line numbers, so there has been some improvement… But it still shits the bed if you try to open a file that’s more than a few megs…

Shitty decision, happy to be Wordpad’s one fan.
There’s dozens of us!

What about Notepad? I use it for the same quick notes
Doesn’t have formatting, unless Notepad has got really adventurous at some point in the last decade or two.

I mean, I’d never use Notepad. Download Notepad++, it’s better in literally every way.
Oh yes, I use notepad++ regularly. I opened something with notepad by accident the other day and happened to notice the change.
