i 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.
