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
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
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.

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
