Why is WordPad better than Notepad?  Because it has Replace, not just

Yep, that's why Notepad asks "this file too large blah blah"  :)

Except when you are adding to a file, and cross over the size limit.
Then you get either an 'out of memory' error, or Notepad just won't let
you add any more text.

You can almost always save your file at that point.

Notepad is better than WordPad because you can open a file by dragging
it from Explorer.

And because it's not suffering as much from bloatware syndrome. Yes, I
know calling Wordpad bloated leaves you without an adjective for Word,
but hell, I'll deal with that.

Don't tell me what you call LDAO.
