    I am one of those users. I use wordpad for prepping my DnD games. MS Office is beyond bloated and slows my pc to a crawl when it’s open. Same with Open Office and LibreOffice if I’m honest. Both hog too many resources.

    Guess I’m moving over to Obsidian full time.

      Notepad++ is also pretty nice

        But it doesn’t do what WordPad does.

      Have you ever tried abiword? It’s really lightweight.
