I've used windows since dos and have never once used wordpad in my entire life.
For basic text, notepad is just fine. For anything fancy, wordpad isn't good enough.
I feel that it doesn't have a place anywhere. It's like the bizarre paint 3D they've recently discontinued.
iirc wordpad had spellcheck which was sort of convenient
