I can't tell if this is sarcasm or not, but just in case, there are dozens of editors that are way better than notepad++. Feature rich ones like Sublime Text, or VS Code, or simple ones like xed / gedit.
Sublime and VS Code are both huge in size and work rather slowly on older machines, despite being nothing else but text editors. I do support OP's statement - Notepad++ is the best text editor available(on windows).
Yep, I'm surprised how quickly we phase out perfectly healthy machines, just because the software quality keeps getting lower and lower. It's not good for the climate, among other things. I appreciate how zealous the Notepad++ developers are about performance and efficiency.
VS Code has terrible performance. Are you the one who's being sarcastic?
lol?(Windows user perspective) Unless you run it on 10 year old hardware yes, terrible performance. Notepad is better. But if you have at least an ssd and 4gb of ram, I don't see any issues.
4 year old MacBook running Windows 10. VS Code opens in a second and is smooth as silk.
I love it.
This is exactly why I prefer Notepad++, it's resource efficient, it doesn't matter where you run it on. Even on the Raspberry Pi the performance is quite decent.
I do genuinely like Notepad++ but it’s hardly unique. If anything, I’d argue that it exists in a heavily saturated market.
I used it for a long time but eventually I realized that it's only killer feature was the file tree on the left which most editors have anyway.
The search across all open documents is very good.
I'm a big fan of Notepad++. I wish the UDL interface was a little more flexible, but at least I don't have to learn a new language to create one like I would with the otherwise similar Notepadqq.
There is. Far Manager :)
Gedit and Kate are both pretty great.
There's no other! An efficient, feature rich, usable product.
