- nittanymount 3y agoguess many people 'v switched to vscode nowdays ?
- ulrischa 3y agoAs a developer for German government this was and is my IDE for a long time. You have it almost everywhere as a standard tool.
- melagonster 3y agothank author for create a beautiful text viewer. I write most of note on it when I in university.
- alberth 3y agoUltraEdit I’m still a big fan of UltraEdit. It’s nearly 30-years old (1994) & still has active development. https://www.ultraedit.com/products/ultraedit/ https://www.ultraedit.com/products/ultraedit/
- UomoNeroNero 3y agoI love it from the bottom of my heart. It is my Swiss army knife and a source of envy and amazement for what it allows me to do among all my colleagues. And I have converted many of them to use it (on PC and MAC)!!! (Clearly and Proudly Licensed)
- pjmlp 3y agoThere always that person on Windows shops. :)
- adithyassekhar 3y agoEditplus and PSPad are still going strong too.
- tut-urut-utut 3y agoI quit using PSPad due to lack of utf8 support. Did it change now?
- gbro3n 3y agoNotepad++ has been one of the first things I install on a new Windows machine every time since I started my programming career 17 years ago. VSCode is everywhere but I still reach for Notepad++ for single file editing (this has always felt awkward in VSCode, maybe two editors is just easier to mentally separate). Would love to see a native Linux / Mac version. Will it ever happen?
- lhamil64 3y agoI used to use Notepad++ but eventually switched to Vim (specifically gvim on windows). I used vim for everything for a while before switching to vscode for code editing and vim for one-off file editing. It's really handy knowing how to use Vim proficiently since it has some really powerful features.
- anta40 3y agoYep there's no native Linux/Mac version. That's why I switched to CudaText, which is Sublime-like.
- az09mugen 3y agoI did also begin programming with Notepad++. I thank it to exist, it introduced me to the cool capabilities an editor can have, and it's a very good starting point for a text editor. But now I gained experience, for quick edits or small projects alongside jetbrains/VS code, I switched to Sublime Text as it as all the functionnalities of Notepad++ and more. It fits perfectly my needs.
- ivanche 3y agoIf by any chance Notepad++ author reads this: Thank you so much!
- aduwah 3y agoNotepad++ kicks ass! Kudos to the author! It is a shame I had to move to mac where I cannot use ot anymore.
- MiddleEndian 3y agoI've always liked minimal straightforward editors over IDEs. I used BBEdit on Mac OS and Notepad++ now on Windows. And vim wherever relevant. Thank you, Notepad++ guy.
- anta40 3y agoWe did't have luxury to install apps on computer labs during university days, thankfully Notepad++ devs provided zipped distribution. Put it on your USB flashdisk, and you have a portable text editing environment. Good old times. These days I mostly work on Mac & Linux, and still occasionally use Windows. Notepad++ is still among my "must to be installed" list.
