About

CotEditor is exactly made for macOS. It looks and behaves just as macOS applications should. CotEditor launches so quick that you can write your text immediately when you want to. CotEditor is developed as an open-source project that allows anyone to contribute. Colorize more than 50 pre-installed major languages like HTML, PHP, Python, Ruby or Markdown. You can also create your own settings. Split a window into multiple panes to see different parts of your document at the same time. Inspect Unicode character data of each selected character in your document and display them in a popover. There are no complex configuration files that require geek knowledge. You can access all your settings including syntax definitions and themes from a standard preferences window. You don't need to lose your unsaved data anymore. CotEditor backups your documents automatically while editing. Check and list-up the characters in your document that cannot convert into the desired encoding.

About

WordPad is a basic text-editing app you can use to create and edit files, include text with different fonts and colors, insert pictures, and add links to other files. You can use WordPad to open and save text files (.txt), rich text files (.rtf), Word documents (.docx), and OpenDocument text files (.odt). Files in other formats will open as plain text files and might not appear as expected. Some features, like headers, footers, and annotations, aren’t supported in WordPad. If you open a file with these features and then save the file in WordPad, you’ll lose the content in these features. If you want to change such a file, but don’t want to lose the original content, tap or click Save as and save the file with a different name. That way you can make changes to a copy of the file while keeping the content in the original file intact. For more info about what each button does, press and hold the button for a description (or if you’re using a mouse, point to the button).

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • It comes free with windows and is perfect for just writing something down or taking notes. It also seems to really be meant for writing (without printing) since it doesn't format into A4 papers.
  • Nothing. There are no pros.
  • Came with my new computer, so I didn't have to pay for it. I only needed to occasionally type a letter or a document, and it serves my purpose for that.

Cons

  • It doesn't have all the features of word and most annoying it doesn't show the shortcuts for the features. Still don't know how to increase/decrease the indent without needing to stop typing and click the button.
  • There isn't anything to like about WordPad. Nothing is good so everything is bad. I cannot figure out how to use it so isn't that a con enough. We were conned into getting this feature when there was an updated to Windows 11. Thank you very little!
  • I have been unable to find out how to type an address on an envelope! Doesn't do me a lot of good to type a business letter when I can't type an official looking envelope for it! Needs a source to search for information with "How To" instructions!
