Notepad++

Open Source by Don HO | Link to website

Notepad++ is a free source code editor and Notepad replacement that supports several languages. Based on the powerful editing component Scintilla, Notepad++ is written in C++ and uses pure Win32 API and STL which ensures a higher execution speed and smaller program size. By optimizing as many routines as possible without losing user friendliness, Notepad++ is trying to reduce the world carbon dioxide emissions. When using less CPU power, the PC can throttle down and reduce power consumption, resulting... More info »

Still crappy

Negative Review by qwasty about Notepad++ Geany PSPad Sep 2011

I just tried this again. It's still crappy, full of bugs, crashes, etc. Whatever features it has aren't worth it if they don't work. I tried PSPad, it's better, but I'm still testing others. Geany is the next one I'll try.

I tried Geany, it's good, but I still like TextPad the most. The only thing I don't like about TextPad is it doesn't support UTF-8, but I like it so much otherwise, I used it for everything that doesn't require UTF-8. I'll use Geany, PSPad, Leo, or something else for UTF-8

Lightweight, powerful, and fast

Positive Review by Muntoo about Notepad++ Jul 2011

Ultra-powerful, yet having a ultra-light footprint, this brilliantly designed more-than-just-a-text-editor can do whatever you could want out of it. Notepad++ makes it easy to jump in for first-time users, and doesn't cause pain to existing users.

Based on Scintilla, Notepad++ is feature packed, especially for programmers: syntax highlighting, code completion, user defined languages/keywords, themes, regular expressions, SVN/Mercurial/etc integration plugins, console (NppExec plugin), custom shortcut commands jut about anything, and a whole lot more!

For non programmers, there are easy to use plugin menus and a built in macro recorder!

In short, it's a fast and powerful feature packed text editor without being a heavy hard to use IDE. For programming, everyday use, or whatever.
