WordPad was a fast and efficient way to view doc files without loading into LibreOffice or any other office suite, or to make rich text documents quickly. But alas, we have to go to the cloud for our notes now...
Seriously. Fuck OneNote with a cactus.
Careful, i heard some people tend to enjoy that
I had a surface in grad school and used one note. It was so clunky but I could edit things on my surface and then pull them up on my desktop for studying or writing papers. I wish there was a better option but it was the best I could find that was cloud based at the time.
It's a crime how many features they gutted from 2016, but that one didn't work great on touch screen for me
OneNote is awesome if you use it properly. As a system administrator, I use it almost every day to dump links, errors and notes and the ease of rearranging or moving it is great.
I actually have found a use for one note. Editing large schematics. That's it. It's a very narrow use case.
Do the ultimate OP solution and host your own nextcloud. It has built in office and everything google drive has.
Notepad++ does that too
