I like how I started years ago by saying “Notepad sucks, let me try Notepad++ and Sublime Text”. Now it’s almost an IDE, but still a great text editor!

- contriban 5y agoI find it hard to believe anyone would use Notepad past the “wow I can edit this HTML file” phase. I found PSPad years before I started working.
- nkozyra 5y agoNote the "years ago" part. Options were limited for non terminal free/cheap options for a long time. Wiki says PSPad came out in 2001, I'd guess this experience predated that.
- stickyricky 5y agoIn 1999, I made a Starcraft blog entirely in Notepad. There may have been other options at the time but my download speed was < 28k in rural Tennessee.
- ipaddr 5y agoNotepad is on every system
- spiderice 5y agoI can’t seem to find it on my Mac :) Joking aside, even if it were on every system, I don’t see it having much use outside of the very, very rare edit in a system that isn’t my own.
- ipaddr 5y agoThe last I saw inside a Mac was around the time the Lisa was being developed. Did they ever get right click to work? Textedit would be the Mac version.
