Yes, I would say notepad would be the bigger loss. But wordpad is still the default for people before they learn about things like notepad++

Notepad is the default text editor on Windows. I’d be surprised if most people even knew WordPad existed.

Interestingly enough I have seen a lot of new PCs that have Wordpad as default (mostly dells and some HPs).

I have seen that too and the first thing you do is change it to notepad as wordpad isn’t good for text files
