Honestly, what is the point of Wordpad when you have Notepad and Word?

[โ€“] Firipu@startrek.website 10 points 1 year ago

WordPad (or at least uses to) opens much faster than word, but still has rich text. Perfect for some short notes.

Or eg to edit an ini file. They display as readable text in WordPad and not just a massive long string like in notepad.
