I haven’t used Word Pad in over a decade. I suspect a lot of people fall into this camp

I don’t see the point of word pad anymore. Its purpose was a lite free alternative to MS Word. With online word processors like Google Docs and even Word online, both of which have free versions that can work offline, it just makes Word Pad entirely pointless especially when there are open source word processors.

I feel that this would be a bigger deal if notepad was killed, but then there’s notepad plus.
