Overall Satisfaction with Notepad++

Taking quick notes or lists where I just need a note with no particular organisation. Especially useful for part numbers or as a quick list of things to investigate/look into/fix.

I also use it as an editor for markup languages like yaml.

Pros

  • Fast to open
  • remembers where I left off
  • just works all the time

Cons

  • More modern icons
  • it's free and great
  • has saved me from forgetting many a thing
it's really fast and it just works. Has never let me down
vscode is also a text editor and in many ways is more powerful than Notepad++. Notepad++ is simpler, faster and less busy. vscode is nicer for more complicated things, such as working with multiple files that are related (say a complex set of python scripts) or in a project folder

Do you think Notepad++ delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Notepad++'s feature set?

Yes

Did Notepad++ live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Notepad++ go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Notepad++ again?

Yes

Notepad++ is incredibly simple and fast, and is therefore suited to simple and fast tasks. I would not recommend it for writing complex code (use a proper environment) or text where things need to be linked (use Word). It is great for just writing quick lists or taking notes to be written up at the end of a meeting.
