I have 200 unsaved notes just waiting in the memory guillotine for when something accidentally wipes them. I salute you, Notepad++.
It's so bad but so good. It's like a poweruser variation of keeping important stuff in the recycle bin.
White knuckle, tightrope note taking. I just do it for the rush.
If you can't lose all your work in a freak data corruption incident are you even working?
I've restored my N++ session of unsaved notes from backup more than once.
NPP is indispensable, it is the Windows killer-app.
Congrats on the release!
Congratulations to everyone involved! I don't use Windows anymore, but when I did, NPP was one of the first things to get installed. Super useful.
Still the best, can't believe it's been 20 years.
I've switched from NPP years ago. Can somebody please explain why it's so popular?
It's snappier and more private than VSCode at the very least.
idk why people donβt just use codium instead
Because of the snappiness -- codium is no faster than code. For me, NPP is used for making single-word changes to a bunch of files in a row--like vim, but a GUI.
I used Crimson Editor before I found Notepad++ and I can't believe it's been that long. Cheers to 20 years!
