Windows 12 will likely be the end of the road for WordPad.

    I’m amazed to hear people actually used word pad. It’s such a horrible editor with extremely poor file type support.

      Right? I never quite understood who it was actually for, either. I mean, notepad makes sense, but wordpad just seemed like a worse version of MS Word.

      I guess it could have been for those who needed something more sophisticated than notepad but didn’t want to spend money to get Word?

      Idk, that’s the only reason I can think of right now lol.

        Is that not enough of a reason for you?

        Seems like a big one to me

          I mean, it is a reason. I’ve always just had access to MS Office, so I never really thought about it or familiarized myself with the program.

          I suppose if there were a time I didn’t have Word, and I needed a word processor, then I would use it.

      It’s pretty out of the way for quick notes, while Word has so much going on, while Notepad doesn’t have some important features
