Wordpad was the step between notepad and paid Word. When I used Windows, I would use wordpad because it was free and had more features than notepad. But since I switched to Linux and there is Google Docs, I have had no need for any of them.

And there are other better free options now. I will not miss Wordpad.

True, nowadays there are better options out there like libreoffice and probably other foss projects out there

LibreOffice is a breath of fresh air. Watching things go more cloud-based and/or using the gross "SAAS" model, it's really nice to have software that does everything I need it to do without all the bullshit.

I was told I needed Microsoft Office when I was in college for my masters. I bought it but never used it, because LibreOffice just worked better.
