Do you prefer Notepad3 over Notepad++, and can you share why if so?
- krylon 2y agoI am an emacs user at heart, but when I was using Windows at work, I did use Notepad++ from time to time, it handled laaaaarge files much more smoothly than emacs.

- leeoniya 2y agoi used NP++ for quite a while for coding. it was good. but i always _also_ replaced the built-in shitty windows notepad with Notepad3. there is less UI clutter than NP++, NP3 starts faster and felt like a better default editor. i think NP3 also kept up to date with recent Scintilla releases while NP++ could be on a 6mo old Scintilla version with various already-fixed bugs.

If I have to do anything more complex, Neovim is the end-all-be-all. [0] https://akelpad.sourceforge.net/ https://akelpad.sourceforge.net/
