    Notepad++, GET YOUR FOSS ON PEOPLE!

    https://notepad-plus-plus.org/

    If you’re not using it, then you’re going to be extremely happy when you switch!

      People should use Vim. It’s tons better and very user friendly.

        Highly recommend this.

        A modern Neovim configuration with full battery for Python, Lua, C++, Markdown, LaTeX, and more…

        This is enough to get the intellisense and linters up and running. Only takes ~5 minutes to configure by installing prerequisites, it’s worth it though.

          Simple: You pull the plug on your PC.

        No one getting this joke is hilarious to me

          Its not that people have missed the joke, it’s that the joke is poorly formed and not hyperbolic enough to be funny, instead it’s rather a half joke and brings up a larger issue (intentional or not), that undermines the attempt at absurdist humor.

          I find Dunning-Kruger to be funny.

        VIM is for people who need crutches - Vi is where it’s at. Or maybe LaTex I don’t know.

        But I do heartily endorse Notepad++.

      I liked the tab support being added and use notepad for a bunch of basic bitch shiz, but notepad++ is going full time if they start bogging it down with crap.

      SublimeText is a much superior alternative. Notepad++ is like being stuck in the 2000s

        Paying for a text editor, who doesn’t like that?

        It’s free and is functional. What more could you want

      There’s KDE Kate as well, but I only use that for scripting purpose.
