I used WordPad so much growing up. I fucking HATED Word and the office applications as a kid, WordPad just worked and just did writing, which is what I wanted to do.
Why did you hate office apps?
Clipart and wordart :3
All text breaks if I insert an image!
constantly reverting to the default font instead of the one I've used for the entirety of the document
no visual aid settings, the absolute literal WYSIWYG.
I'm sad that clipart and wordart are fading into obscurity but at least there is enough nostalgia for it that it isn't forgotten.
