Notepad++ Alternatives for Chrome OS

Despite sometimes high demanding (for an text editor), good as an Editor/IDE.

Atom is a text editor that provides an all in one solution to all the absolute basic needs today's modern world expects in a notepad replacement. Sleek UI, extensible, cross-platform, and, actively developed, Atom is the defacto choice for the vast majority when wanting to replace notepad/NotePad++ with an editor that packs a real punch in default capabilities and usefulness.

What should be a simple application is implemented in the extremely bloated Electron framework. No thanks, I'll take something native.

Feels bloated and sluggish compared to Notepad++. It makes my laptop sad when doing lots of multitasking. That's the main reason I don't use it.

Too slow, big, and heavy, and a memory hog.

I tried Atom and it’s probably the most heavy code editor I ever met (more than 1 Go installed).

Notepad++ has a dated feel about it. Atom is lightweight, and feels modern and slick.

Very nice and fresh software for source code editing with a lot of features

Incredibly performant and versatile editor. With the feeling of an editor and the power of an IDE

Yet another simple tool reimplemented in the extremely bloated Electron framework. No thanks.

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.

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.

It's more than just an environment to view code with highlighting. It is a basic yet complete coding environment to write and run code.

Visual Studio Code is great but it is heavy and complex. Not a good replacement for simple GUI text editor with macro support which is Notepad++.

Gedit can't fold code, can't make ident lines, and the ident is strange!

Some essential plugins missing especially around code formatting tools

no sorting and don't reconize regular expression when 'replace' or search

not online, works only for chrome and cloud based

It has similar options, you can select the language you are programming on and also has themes.

Its not an online, cloud based app. It works only for chrome.

You can use it offline and its easy to access.
