Notepad only supports CRLF, wordpad can read Unix-style files, which is a lot of files even on Windows. A great deal of software was written to unconditionally insert \n.

Formatting isn't the only reason to use it. I never bother to try notepad.



Notepad supports \n for a few months or years now.


Notepad was fixed years ago
