I prefer something like notepad++ for config and notes. Syntax highlighting is useful for config files (especially larger ones). The auto storing of unsaved files is great for notes. Many of my notes are temporary but I still want them to survive a reboot when necessary. Plus I find tabs easier to manage when I have a lot of notes and files open. The Windows task switcher becomes awkward in that case.
- prepend 7y agoI prefer notepad++ over notepad, but notepad is always installed. If I’m on a computer for a long time, I’ll install notepad++. But most of the time I’m in transient computers that have notepad but not notepad++. It’s a similar preference to how I like vim. Vim is ubiquitous on *nix systems. Lots of better stuff, but I’m ok enough with vim.
