It is not just nostalgia. Windows used to have a built-in word processor. Not anymore. If I wanted to write a letter on a Windows computer I was unfamiliar with, I could use WordPad, I knew it was there, like Notepad and the calculator. WordPad is not the best word processor, by far, but it was there.
Now, there is no word processor I know is there. There is that useless trial version of Office 365, or maybe the real one. Or LibreOffice, that I am not very comfortable with. Or one of the webapps like Google Docs, but then I need an account, and internet access (not guaranteed).
