quick editing : Notepad++ coding : vscode , jetbrains pim : emacs org-mode I think sublime text is somewhere between quick editing and coding, but there are better options for both

All coding: Notepad2 (one of the more updated forks) Need to find some reference or search whole folder: Sublime IDEs are too fat, the only time I pull one out is when I need to design a WPF desktop app or sth.

  Replacing the built-in Notepad app with Notepad2 with code folding is one of the first things I do when setting up a new Windows box. It's a tiny app that starts instantly and for viewing text/code files and small- to medium-sized edits it has almost everything - multi-cursor editing is the one thing I'm so used to now that I notice its lack, truly a first-world developer problem ;) F12 opens a file in Notepad2 in Directory Opus and `e FILE` does the same from Bash or PS, can't think of a time where I'd need someone more than Notepad2 but less than Sublime Text, or VS Code today. I've installed Notepad++ several times over the years and just never wanted to have to use it.

I personally love Sublimetext for quick editing. Things like multiline selection on single documents. For anything else, vscode or jetbrains

There's one killer feature of Sublime that I can't find anywhere else (on Linux at least) and it's the reason I still use it: Upon closing it persist even unsaved tabs, and those tabs are named after the first line of text. I find this incredibly helpful when juggling multiple snippets of code/logs, without having to think about saving or worrying about accidentally closing the window. Intellij Idea and Zim offer something similar, but they are clunky in comparison. Anyone know another text editor that offers this functionality and run on Linux?

  OH yes. Don't know why, but I've developed an habit of putting important stuff in unsaved files from my use of Sublime a few years ago. I've been bitten by this in VSC a few times but I still do it...

  I get this in Notepad++ and VSCode? I've had 2 unsaved tabs in VSCode for like 6 months. Close VSCode / Open again, they show up...

The best editor is the one you have with you.

Sublime Text is so superior to Notepad++ I can't agree with you at all.
