My favourite text editor still has to be Notepad++ on Windows. I've never found another (both for Windows or Linux) that was as snappy and simple.
shrug
(never quite "got" emacs - it reminds me of the crappy, buggy, horrid PIC IDE we used at uni)
- JesseAldridge 17y agoI also use Notepad++ and like it a lot. It keeps things simple and just works. One of the coolest features is if you change a file anywhere, the changes are automatically reflected in the opened buffer. I use Total Commander for opening files: http://www.ghisler.com/ http://www.ghisler.com/ Emacs and vim fill me with rage every time I try to use them. And I definitely prefer several small tools to a big, monolithic IDE.
- TallGuyShort 17y agoI was very impressed with Notepad++. I've switched to vim simply because I've been doing more and more work on remote unix machines - and it's so much easier to just open up vim through ssh. Now that I'm used to how to use it, I also appreciate how easy it is to get a dark color scheme that's easy on the eyes. But yes - a big upvote for notepad++. Very lightweight and easy to work with.
