I honestly didn't even know it was still around. The last time I opened it was... Windows 7, I think?

I get it. MS has a “free” rich text editor, it’s Word online. You can easily install any other simple rich text editor (is abiword still a thing?) on Windows. Wordpad probably has minimal usage.

A good alternative is abiword. Don't know if it exists on Windows tho.
