  Notepad++ was a good alternative when I was running Windows

    That’s an alternative to Notepad, not for Wordpad that has basic word processing formatting.

  You can likely still grab the exe and use it

  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.

    Probably don’t use Atom though seeing as it was sunset at the end of 2022

    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.

  I recently started using a markdown based note taking program called Joplin, that might be useful for you
