    I liked having the minimal formatting options in WordPad without the bloat of Word.

          I read that like you’re Tony the Tiger. “It is GRRRRRREAT for opening large log files.”

          The holy spirit help you with your servers that run on windows.

          I’d also suppose this update won’t affect you, cuz you’re hopefully not running latest win11 on a server.

        In the nineties it produced the cleanest .rtf output of all the editors. Word makes toxic .rtf that unnecessarily turns formatting off and on at every line break and elsewhere too.

        If it weren’t for wordpad I wouldn’t have learned how to output .rtf from my code.

        RIP WordPad.
