- NelsonMinar 8y agoI'd say it's frequent but not ubiquitous, and less popular than a few years ago. VSCode, Sublime Text, and Atom are all popular as well.
- pzone 8y agoMy experience is Notepad++ being one of multiple text editors people might choose including Sublime Text, VSCode, Atom, Emacs, vi, etc.
- doorbellguy 8y agoAnecdotal evidence here. And I've seen most computers of my friends and colleagues running sublime text. However, notepad ++ is famous too
- wil421 8y agoSublimeText is common. I’ve converted a few devs over from Notepad++. A SublimeText license is cheap if you’re in the US/EU but I could see it being expensive for the devolving nations. You can evaluate SublimeText for free and I encourage you to do so. Check out the packages for your stack! After using SublimeText for 5 years, notepad++ is like using a regular notepad but that’s my personal opinion.
- russdpale 8y agoIn my experience, npp has been surpassed by vscode or atom. however, I have recently found the markdown npp plugin and because of npp's speed, its become my go to markdown editor/viewer. If I need to just edit one file quickly with a simple change, npp is still my go to.
