Microsoft announced today that it will deprecate WordPad with a future Windows update as it’s no longer under active development

I wonder what changes they’ve made to wordpad over the last 10 years… how many people have been working on it and stuff.

This sort of implies that Notepad is still under active development. That’s weird to think about.

I haven’t been using Wordpad for 20+ years. Notepad could do everything it does already. Then, you also have Firefox’s built-in inspect to tinker with code on the fly.

It doesn’t need “active development” because it is perfect the way it is. Unix/Linux has tons of useful programs that haven’t been in active development for 40-50 years.
