@jeffw @dantheclamman Wordpad is better for coding

How do people use Wordpad for coding? I’ve never seen that done. If I ever open code in an editor with a “bold” button, I screwed up and close without saving.

He must be thinking of notepad. Which I mean, I would not choose to code in Notepad but I wouldn’t actively avoid it like I would wordpad.

It's the "I got to change 1 of code" editor.

The "my IDE didn't recognize the file type and opened it in here by default" editor.

WordPad was often used if a file was too big for Notepad, over 64 KB. But now there are better options.
