Overall Satisfaction with Notepad++

Notepad++ is a very good script editor suitable for all scripting languages and all kind of codes from simple one liners to complexed heavy codes. It is free for use with no restrictions so it can be used in small and big companies and also single users. The application can detect scripting language and add appropriate language markings and code highlighters witch is very handful for developers not matter on what technology they use for work. Notepad is also very easy to install and deploy in mass delivery. The configuration is also easy and can be applied with no user interaction by the administrator.

Pros

  • Edit any script
  • Markings for all scripting languages
  • Easy to configure
  • Easy to install

Cons

  • No terminal to run and test the code
  • Edit script
  • Mark the code formatting
  • It is free to use
  • It is easy to configure
  • It is easy to be prepared for mass distribution
In comparison to vs code, Notepad is less complexed solution with maybe less testing or implementation options but also with better script edition control thanks to the code formatting options. It depends on the task we have but for less complexed scripting that doesn't require testing or connection to the environment Notepad is a better solution.

It is perfect in case we have a code to modify or update. First of all Notepad will show us the code in appropriate formatting which will highlight and mark important part of the script like variable or functions. Thank to this feature we can easily read the code and get the information from it but also find some specific parts that are required to be modify at the moment. During edition our code will also be marked so we will see instantly if the formatting is correct and if the code have some syntax errors.
