I see this being treated as good news, and in some ways it is a relief to not see RTF files anymore, but the fact that the most popular operating system in the world now no longer has a free word processor included isn't great when you consider that Microsoft Word is a separate expense. They could have done the work to make a better free word processor but they decided to just scrap it instead. That is some Google shit.
Did anybody ever use it?
It was nice that it was there by default. Before cloud word processors it was useful if you were maintaining a bunch of windows servers and wanted some clean looking playbooks.
No ones shedding any tears though I think.
