recent vuln asside (big caveat ill admit) idk why you would use notepad at all when N++ exists
- JohnFen 7mo agoI don't find Notepad++ to be a good replacement for (the old) notepad, personally. It's too feature-filled. The big win of notepad was that it was genuinely minimalist.
- Night_Thastus 7mo agoIt may have features, but you don't need to use them - and at least for me it starts up very quickly and none of those extras get in the way.
- JohnFen 7mo agoTrue, I can ignore them, but they're still a distraction and impact performance. For the use cases that I want the old Notepad for, Notepad++ isn't a great alternative for me.
- tracker1 7mo agoI always liked Crimson/Emerald more myself.
- fastasucan 7mo agoIf you dont need any of the ++ why would you use notepad++ over notepad?
- Dylan16807 7mo agoI think just about anyone can appreciate having multiple undos. And keeping your unsaved notes safe against crash/reboot. I do think notepad recently got those, but for a long time it was a compelling reason to use notepad++. And you can avoid copilot.
