Chose Atom
Both Sublime Text and notepad++ have a long history for being good code editors. However, it's important to realize the changes and growth in the field of text editors, and Atom is simply a lot better now in terms of community and support.
Atom is incredibly lighter than Dreamweaver, of course it doesn't have the tools DW provides in terms of preview and clicking an element to be taken to the code... but for small web pages this is not necessary.
Atom is more similar to Notepad++ and the very popular vs code... …
For the cost, there isn't another text editor or IDE that has more features, more supports, and better integration with packages than Atom. It may take a bit to get used to it, but once familiar, it's very efficient and feature-packed. I find that developers who put in the time …

Atom and Notepad++ are both free text editor tools. Notepad++ is extremely lightweight whereas Atom can use a lot of memory and be slow with large files. Both apps have a solid UI and both support plugins (they're called packages in Atom). Atom does integrate with Github …
Atom is a nice little notepad and editor, but it's a bit overkill for a simple note-taking app and doesn't quite compare to Visual Studio Code for more robust tasks like software development. It does have more polish than Notepad++, but the experience is somehow more clumsy. Sub…
Notepad++ is free, entirely, so you're not going to have to pay for more features (like with Sublime). It's also available offline, so if you're having internet issues you won't lose your data (like with Evernote).
