You’re going to use Notepad++.

You know, I used to swear by Notepad++ whenever I was stuck using Windows (and bemoan the lack there of all the better text editors that were Mac only).

These days, there are so many alternatives. Sublime, Atom, VS Code... they all have more extensions, better UI, and deeper customisation than Notepad++.

I tend to agree. I used to use Notepad++ like ten years ago, but nowadays I tend to see it like the Dev-C++ of editors -- great once upon a time, but long fallen behind.

I tried out VSC and have been very happy with it so far. I haven't used it too much because I do 99% of my work in regular VS, but that's kind of the point.


Is the sublime rot overblown?


They just released a new dev build of ST3 two days ago (available if you're a registered user). I've been using it with no problems across Windows, Linux and Mac for quite sometime now.
