Comments about Visual Studio Code as an Alternative to Notepad++
Cross-platform, superior highlighting and plugins.
Its quite a big application, and if you wanna just edit a config file or text document, you dont want a big, slower application running.
Its a good coding app for projects and stuff, but not if you want to make a simple edit.
Visual Studio Code can do everything Notepad++ does but better. It has more features, is very extensible and customizable, has a great dark default theme, is cross-platform, and is fairly lightweight.
