- RDaneel0livaw 3y agoSublime text for me takes too long to load. It's also too heavy for what my use case is. I just want a simple text editor, not an entire development app.
- wewtyflakes 3y agoI've always known Sublime text to load and run instantaneously unless working with enormous files that do not have newline characters.
- margalabargala 3y agoSublime is not FOSS, for one. I use Geany on Linux, it is the closest replacement I have found. Until now.
- wildzzz 3y agoNpp is great for editing text, no matter what kind of text file it is. It has a bunch of crazy plugins that are just mean for editing and converting text in files. For example, you can edit a column of text (rather than just a row). It's great for working on log files or anything computer generated that needs reformatting. Works ok as a code editor too but it's not an IDE (although it does come in handy when an IDE is not available). It's just another tool to have in your quiver.
- VHRanger 3y agoI've never properly learned VIM, so I do enjoy the micro command line editor for this sort of stuff.
