> Wordpad was good for some stuff, I forget what

It was a proper WYSIWYG editor working with rich text, effectively a poor man's Word.

Microsoft should have turned it into a markdown editor, instead of killing it.

It was, and worked well with rtf. I vaguely recall it being better than notepad if you were for example looking at strings in binary files, something like that, I forget...
