I’ve used windows since dos and have never once used wordpad in my entire life.
For basic text, notepad is just fine. For anything fancy, wordpad isn’t good enough.
I feel that it doesn’t have a place anywhere. It’s like the bizarre paint 3D they’ve recently discontinued.

I guess it’s to direct more people to Microsoft 365 and Word. I hope that in reality more people will start to use LibreOffice and others.

iirc wordpad had spellcheck which was sort of convenient

My office had a period where we used LibreOffice and others because of some licensing dispute with Microsoft. However that period of peace ended when we migrated to 365.
