meanwhile, wordpad.. probably used by more people over the age of seven than paint is, getting axed.
microsoft has office subs to sell, but they do not have a photoshop or gimp or even a paint.net alternative to sell.
I've literally never met anybody that used Wordpad, whereas I know a lot of tech normies that'll use MS Paint for quick memes and things
I used it back in my Windows days. Out of the box, I think it's the only way to do rich text on Windows. Also (used to be anyway) one of the less resource intensive options.
You know, for when you've got Napster, Winamp (with visualisation), ICQ, and MSN all up and barely running. You don't want to have to run, like, WordPerfect at the same time! Your MP3s will start skipping :p
They can cut WordPad, if they kill Notepad then IDK what to say...
Notepad++ FTW!
Fellow notepad.exe aficionado here as well
I've been using Notepad++ for a good while now and it's proven to be a great alternative to MS WordPad.
Can you format at all in Notepad++? I tend to use it for notes jot down in a rush or editing tiny scripts. For stuff that needs to look prettier, I tend to use Google Docs.
Yes and then some. It has built in support for a lot of programming languages plus allows you to add more. It also support extended and regex find/replace.
They created WordPad because of antitrust issues and never changed it. Try opening a Word document created by a recent version, it's pretty useless today.
Notepad rules though, it even got UTF8 support recently-ish! /s
I think they're just pushing people to use OneNote (which is free).
Free with lots of features stripped out
Honestly not that bad if I want to use it for notetaking. But not as full-featured.
Yea that's totally fair. I'm just bitter cuz it makes running my D&D sessions harder lol
