Overall Satisfaction with Notepad++
Notepad++ is used by our engineering team who does a lot of formatting for files/docs. I learned how to do the basic coding formatting in college and am able to suggest edits based on how I want the files to look. This is very important because understanding the program between users helps create efficient solutions.
- Same format as many coding programs.
- Easy to use
- Clear text for less confusion between 0 and O - that is an actual issue with some programs.
- Help support was great to work with!
- Feels dated, keeps it relevant but the text is very 1980s.
- A quick list for copying to a clipboard would be helpful if you are using multiple commands which happens often.
- Need to add auto save, when making changes this would be better like other programs who use it. Just create a quick toggle to use or not use.
- Easy to teach, we need non engineering people to understand the abilities and quickness that the program offers.
- Updated learning guides created by the company for reference.
- Synchronize worksheets has been a good tool to merge multiple people's work all at once. Love this function!
- Program slowness with updates, that seems to be common in Windows 10.
- Incompatible plug ins makes it hard to use with some programs, we would like to use it more but get limited.
- Auto-updates. We found out that you can uninstall an older version and get a newer one which fixed a lot of issues. If you can update like you do your phone, that would make more sense.
I have used Java the most at other companies, I think we had a design deal with them. Notepad++ was more affordable with my current company.
