Is notepad++ the best windows editor known to man?

>>59909089
I really liked it and used it for about five years but for some reason performance became really terrible with it. It would take a full second after pressing a key for it to show up, that sort of thing. Couldn't find a solution that worked and no-one else had the same problem so I had to give it up.

I tried a few alternatives and wound up using Geany which is actually quite nice. The macro system is worse than npp, the find and replace isn't quite as powerful and there is no TextFX, but other than that it's pretty good. The built-in build commands are excellent though.

Sublime text is better

Didn't the creator have a meltdown a couple of years ago and say the supporters of political parties he doesn't like are no longer allowed to use it or something?

>>59909291
I'm pretty sure it's licensed under the GPL and says or asks nothing about your political views when installing it. (And I wouldn't care either way if it asked me not to use it.)

>>59909089
I prefer atom but notepad++ is alright.

>>59909089
Yes.

>>59909089
nope you're referring to sublime

Didn't it also have some sort of backdoor

>>59910453
It's fixed already.

The guy is some dumb faggot who has politicized the thing. Check out his twitter. It's extreme cringe. I think he got my old twitter account banned because I was giving him a hard time and asking him why he doesn't use a personal account to be political like a normal human being. The next morning I was suspended.

Send him pics of swastika ascii art in his program. he'll love it.

Uninstall Notepad++ if you voted for front national or any right wing parties

>>59910676
>>59910694
Oh, look. I don't fucking care. I like the program and will keep using it. It's not like he gains anything from me doing so.

>>59910676
It's a ploy to get you to use his software. Some sort of reverse psychology where the people who actually fall for his stupid shit would use it in spite, but that's what he actually wants.

If you can, avoid his software. Avoid him, make his work less relevant.

>>59910714
Hmm, no. I still care more about my own convenience than about the "relevance" of some developer whose software I use. I'll choose good Software over political drama the persons behind the software are involved in.

>>59909089
that's not visual studio code

>>59910694
i thought all of your bernout numales committed mass suicides

>>59910906
Exactly.

Should I turn off the radio when Greenday plays something even though I voted for Trump?

>>59909089
If you're used to an environment it's hard to stray away from it. I used sublime for 3 weeks I liked it but I found myself going back to np++ for some odd reason.

>>59910977
>vote for trump
>not for the constitution party
You could be more edge.

>>59909089
it's snappier than any other IDE and has features hidden away if you need them (file environment browser, document map)

but it's a little ugly and the customisation tools suck.

there are no good color theme repositories for it.

>>59910694
I vote right wing, I never installed notepad++ because its gay garbage.

He's spooked cause the CIA can hook into one of the libraries it uses to elevate privileges and do other malicious things of that nature.

I don't even use Windows let alone notepad++. Haven't in years. I just thought it was interesting that he politicizes the brand.
