Notepad plus plus, the finest txt viewer

It was a bless to be able to modify a normal style and customize it into an even more useful program.

Pros

I think the most useful feature in Notepad++ are the custom styles, that you can modify to make it even more useful.

Cons

I think some features like dupe comparisons are hidden and should be well exposed, or even inside the normal software without plugins.

Lightweight Powerhouse for Text and Code

Pros

What's to love:

Free and open-source: Save your budget and join a vibrant community for support and plugins.
Lightweight and fast: Blazing performance, even on older machines, means smooth sailing for your edits.

Cons

debugging tools: For complex projects requiring in-depth debugging, Notepad++ might fall short compared to full-fledged IDEs with integrated debuggers and breakpoints.

Notepad ++ review

Overall experience has been very good. I just feel like there are a lot more features I could be using but I just don't have the time to learn.

Pros

The best thing about this is that I can run macros and it supports XML. Makes my work faster.

Cons

Notepad++ has just so many features that I feel like I'm not using all that I could. Perhaps I need to take classes to use it to its full potential.

A classic that still works

Pros

Notepad++ is always evolving, and that is what I like the most. It has a great nostalgic community but also it is not lacking functionalities. Even there are some plugins that are specific for Notepad++ and can not be found for other platforms.

Cons

I am a true nostalgic and I love Notepad++, maybe I could complain about the update system, that could be improved.

Notepad++ for Development

Overall from my perspective for writing codes and scripts the Notepad++ is the best software, The UI of the Notedpad++ is something any user might does not like in first sight but the users can adapt it very well

Pros

Notepad++ has many languages which are supported which makes it easy to use the notepad++ for website development.

Cons

Notepad++ is probably the one of the best text editor from my views but it only lags in one thing that notepad++ does not have any compilers to execute the code and each and every time i have to copy the code in other editors to execute it

Notepad++ is very powerful tool with great performance

I use NPP for developing applications in PHP, Perl, Python, Javascript. Also I use it for processing some text data, comparing files, etc.

Pros

Mostly I like code highlighting, themes, auto backups, plugins, performance, ability to work with huge files, flexible search/replace with regex support.

Cons

Some plugins don't have 64-bit version. NPP is not full replacement of IDE, it has no advanced debug features, but for scripting languages is has all that I need.

Awesome free text editor when Notepad isn't enough

Pros

I am not a developer, but sometimes have to open files with code. I have often used Notepad++ to edit and merge Markdown files.

It's easy to use and the different colors help visualize what you are working with. There are many features I did not even use, but they never got in the way of the user experience.

Cons

Honestly can't think of anything, as the tool is free and delivered on what I needed it for with no tweaking whatsoever. As such, I hope to offer the perspective of a user who is not necessarily a hardcore techie.
