WordPad 0/1
  • Pros

    • WordPad is built-in with windows, so no need to download or install additional software.
    • It has a user-friendly interface that even a newbie can navigate easily.
    • It supports rich text formatting allowing you to spruce up your documents.
    • It's capable of opening and editing documents from most word processors including Microsoft Word and Open Office.
    • Light on system resources, won't slow down your computer unlike some heavyweight text editors.
  • Cons

    • It lacks advanced features like spell check, grammar check, and autocorrect which are essential for professional writing.
    • Inability to handle larger files; if you're dealing with substantial data sets, it might start lagging or crashing.
    • Not suitable for coding or scripting as it does not support syntax highlighting or line numbers
    • Can't open PDFs directly - You'll need separate software for that chore.
    • No option for password protection - anyone who has access to your PC can open the documents without any hurdles!
