The bait is that Don Ho, Notepad++'s creator, is very political, and while I use it daily, it's always in the back of my mind that he (or his detractors) could use the huge installation base to make a point.
I think his tribute update to Charlie Hebdo (2015) did more bad than good for his reputation.
