The author's repeated expression of "concern" that the Notepad++ author might erase people's files borders on libellous in my opinion. It suggests that such an event might have happened in the past, and especially in the context of a separate piece of software having done that previously, it's almost like the author _wants_ people to misremember and think it must have been Notepad++. If it were only once I wouldn't have made my opening statement in such strong language, but twice? Ironically the whole thing just damages my trust in the author. People who see other people's forthrightness about their own beliefs as a negative are people who should not be trusted, they are people who view a kind of dishonesty as being a virtue, and honesty with suspicion, consider what that means for somebody's trustworthiness.
