There were so many Foss options that did what wordpad does but better. Wordpad was the weird kid who kept talking about how great RTF is while literally nobody else wanted to go near RTF because it is a trash file format.
wordpad also does word files. maybe not intricately-formatted ones or that use advanced features 98% of users don't even know exist, but for basic shit, it was just fine. the only essential thing it lacked, and that microsoft intentionally left out for fear of hurting ms office suite sales, was a spell checker.
