Development Do you use NotePad++

Do you use NotePad++ to edit code on your desktop? If not, what alternative do you use?

Yes I use NotePad++. I think it is the best thing out.

I used Notepad++ a couple of years ago, but I've switched to Atom now.

I've switched to Atom now.

Iv never heard of them before. Would you say it is better than NotePad++ ?

Both work pretty much the same. I think Atom is visually more pleasing than Notepad++, but that's pretty much it.

I don't use Notepad++ although I used to. I actually started on Notepad++, but soon got bored of the overall look, and being that I was staring at it for hours a day I decided to make a change. At that point I switched over to Sublime Text (2 I think at the time). I really like sublime because it has all of the tools that I use, and also has a really attractive and fast design. Just recently, I made another switch over to Atom for the Git integration, and I'm loving it. There are so many plugins, similarly to Sublime, but it also allows you to push your code to Git with the click of a button. I think the convenience of Atom is going to make me stay for good.

Yeah, notepad++ is a alternative solution if you have a very slow pc that can't run high IDE like netbeans, eclipse etc etc etc

I’ve used Notepad++ a few times in the past just try something out quickly but I’ve never properly used it for development tasks though because it’s a very basic piece of software and not as robust as others like Sublime Text, Aaron or VS Code which are powerful and feature rich tools for developers in todays development age.
