It was lighter than word or libre and had formatting, unlike simple word editors like notepad++. Bummer to see it go but surely there is (or will be) an alternative

I just use notepad++ when I have to use Windows PCs.

I used to use WordPad a lot, I'd just press Win+R and enter "write"...

Now I get by with Libreoffice.

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.
