Notepad is absolutely not obsolete. It's far better than a heavy word processor for quickly pasting something into or jotting down a note because it's fast and has hardly any extra interface to get in the way, and has very very little bloat. This is definitely something that authors claim as well, George RR Martin writes on MS DOS because modern word processors have too many bloated features and correct his spelling.

There are tools in between a heavy word processor and a very dumb text editor. Can you even undo more than one character now? I mean, sure, for quick little edits, Ok. But don't tell me you'd write a book in notepad.

And spell checking is a good thing.
