• Notepad++ allows us to keep open files in tabs. Like in a web browser, these tabs let us access these files quickly and easily. Furthermore, even if we forget to save the files when closing the program or shutting down the PC, Notepad++ retains them in the open tabs when we reopen it.
• Notepad++ supports many different file types. We usually save our files created in Notepad as normal text files, but sometimes as JSON, PHP, and HTML files.
• Notepad++ is lightweight and requires little resources. Using it is snappy and responsive.
• The developer of Notepad++ frequently updates the software with bug fixes, performance improvements and new features.

• Keep it simple, fast and easy
• Change without need is wasteful
• It's already perfect, sheesh...

• UI looks a bit dated.
• Sometimes the number of options are overwhelming and require a quick search to figure out where to locate a particular function.
• Some way to do a diff between files would be great. Still need to resort to another paid app for that - unless it is a buried function I don't know about or there's a plugin for it.

I use it every day for 13 years already and it never disappointed me

There are lot of features to talk about. Especially the usability is good. Everyone can easily to use and user-friendly. Can also update easily. Can also write and execute the programming languages like C, C++ etc. Encoding is also the major feature that helps me a lot and converter as well.

I haven't needed to utilize any support related to Notepad++. I guess this is a good thing because I found it to be quite intuitive. There are almost infinite features you can tweak and plugins you can download but I haven't had to do that because Notepad++ is really good right out of the box.

Not well supported, lacks functionality other editors have.

Notepad for Windows, Microsoft Word...LibreOffice Writer....I have used all of these for code writing and editing. Once again I like the universal feel of Notepad++. Basic Notepad, is just that, basic...and kind of clunky for what it is. This is a cool that I have installed on all my computers and also keep it on a thumb drive if I need it elsewhere.

• I have not been involved in that aspect. I am just a user.

• Productivity has increased for developers.
• It's free so instead of buying a piece of software, you can use this to replace many of them that may only specialize in one thing.
• It gives our developers confidence knowing they have such a reliable, free tool at their disposal.
