Notepad++ 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.
