- I feel that Sublime Text is a superior product to Notepad++ as I have used both of that software extensively. This is only my personal opinion and you might find the opposite to be true for you. Guest • Jun 2018

- Other than suuuper basic text editing, it has no real functionality. An alternative to BBEdit should have some level of programming/HTML editing support. (I'm not hating on Notepad, but it's like saying "Don't like Word? Try writing on pen and paper ;) ) Guest • Apr 2018
