Overall Satisfaction with Notepad++
I use [Notepad++] in my career both professionally and in my side work designing websites and programming. It is a helpful tool to use when writing code and also to open current or copy code grabbed from other sources. Before Notepad++, I typically used straight Notepad. I like the line numbers that are available as it helps me find syntax errors when coding.
- Robust and full of features such as programming language specific settings
- Like being able to create new tabs, so I can easily go back to a prior project
- For a computer savvy person, its simple to use...simple menus, robust search features
- The ability to build and test macros, is more of a universal programming environment than a text editor
- I personally can't think of any room for improvement
- With its universal programming environment, a way to compile would be great
- Maybe a way to run code within the program instead? However there may be copyright issues
- First off tool is free
- Second you never find a robust tool with no cost attached or licensing needed
- One stop tool, its efficient in that you do not need to have multiple programs to accomplish the same task(s)
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.
